◎ Solana Spot-Perp Arbitrage — Live Strategy Analysis
Exploit the basis spread between spot and perpetual futures prices. Updated hourly with live data from the Algo Tick API.
Current State — March 12, 2026
Strategy Overview
Spot-perp arbitrage captures the price difference (basis) between an asset's spot price and its perpetual futures price. When funding rates are positive, longs pay shorts — a trader can buy spot and short the perp to collect the funding rate as yield, while remaining delta-neutral.
The Math
Yield = (Funding Rate × 3 × 365) − Execution Costs. Basis = (Perp Price − Spot Price) / Spot Price × 10000 bps.
Risk Factors
Risk comes from liquidation on the short perp leg during extreme moves, exchange counterparty risk, and funding rate reversal.
