AI Crypto Funding Analysis: A Prompt That Requests Evidence and Invalidation

Funding numbers are easy to misquote: wrong interval, wrong venue, predicted instead of settled. A precise prompt prevents most errors.

Short answer

An AI funding-analysis prompt should name the venues and contracts, ask for settled funding history over a window (with each venue's interval and an 8-hour-equivalent conversion), the current predicted rate with time to settlement, OI in coins over the same window and price context. Ask for what the funding level implies about crowding and what would show it resolving (funding normalising, OI dropping). Funding intervals differ (Hyperliquid pays hourly), so conversions must be explicit.

Questions readers ask

Why specify funding intervals?

Venues pay at different intervals; rates aren't comparable otherwise.

Predicted or settled?

Ask for both, clearly labelled.

What shows crowding resolving?

Funding normalising and OI falling.
