How we keep the table honest

Every row on Perp Ranking is one of two kinds, and we never blur them. Live rows are pulled directly from the venue's own public API, refreshed about every minute, and carry a green LIVE badge with a UTC timestamp.

Curated rows are hand-checked reference figures. They carry no LIVE badge on purpose, and we are wiring more venues to live sources over time. Each earns its badge only when it is genuinely live.

We rank by real 24h volume, not by who pays, and we currently take no paid placement. If that ever changes, we will label affiliate links plainly. The full sourcing is on our About and Methodology page.

Not financial advice. Perpetual futures are high risk and leverage can liquidate your position. Verify everything on the venue before trading.
