[//]:content-type-MARKDOWN-DONOT-DELETE To enhance the funding rate query experience, we are introducing the 'funding_rate_limit' field in the futures APIs. This update eliminates the need for manual calculations by directly returning the funding rate upper limit value. **Release Schedule** 2025-08-15 07:00-09:00 (UTC) **Update Details** 1.Affected Endpoints: 1. GET /futures/{settle}/contracts 2. GET /futures/{settle}/contracts/{contract} 2.New Field Specifications: | Field Name | Type | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | funding_rate_limit | string | The capped value of the funding rate | 3.Impact of Changes: The new 'funding_rate_limit' field directly returns the funding rate upper limit values, which are identical to the calculated results from 'funding_cap_ratio'. **A 2-month transition period begins from the release; during this period 'funding_cap_ratio' will continue to be updated.** **After transition period ends, this field will be deprecated and stop returning data.** **Please complete migration to 'funding_rate_limit' before the transition period ends.** **API Response Example** ``` { "funding_rate_indicative": "0.0001", "mark_price_round": "0.01", "funding_offset": 0, "in_delisting": false, "risk_limit_base": "1000000", "interest_rate": "0.0003", "index_price": "120384.2", "order_price_round": "0.1", "order_size_min": 1, "ref_rebate_rate": "0.2", "name": "BTC_USDT", "ref_discount_rate": "0", "order_price_deviate": "0.02", "maintenance_rate": "0.004", "mark_type": "index", "funding_interval": 28800, "type": "direct", "risk_limit_step": "1499000000", "enable_bonus": true, "enable_credit": true, "leverage_min": "1", "funding_rate": "0.0001", "last_price": "120359.8", "mark_price": "120359.8", "order_size_max": 1000000, "funding_next_apply": 1755100800, "short_users": 184, "config_change_time": 1754991140, "create_time": 1737602786, "trade_size": 4497341032239, "position_size": 256491312, "long_users": 377, "quanto_multiplier": "0.0001", "funding_impact_value": "30000", "leverage_max": "125", "cross_leverage_default": "5", "risk_limit_max": "1500000000", "maker_fee_rate": "-0.0001", "taker_fee_rate": "0.00075", "orders_limit": 100, "trade_id": 516324899, "orderbook_id": 74655611607, "funding_cap_ratio": "0.75", "voucher_leverage": "2", "is_pre_market": false, "status": "trading", "launch_time": 1737602786, "enable_circuit_breaker": false, "funding_rate_limit": "0.003" } ``` Please review the updated rules in advance and adjust your trading strategies accordingly.
