Chainlink FAQ

How do I compare Chainlink open interest with its market cap?

Both figures sit in the KPI cards. Dividing open interest by market cap gives a rough leverage gauge: a rising ratio means more of LINK's value is tied up in open futures and perpetuals. The market share panel offers the same comparison as shares of the wider market.

What does the LINK funding rate line show?

It plots the OI-weighted funding rate for LINK perpetuals over time across the exchanges FMchart tracks, so venues with more open contracts count for more. Consistently positive readings mean longs are paying shorts; readings close to zero usually mean positioning is balanced.

How does the LINK liquidation heatmap relate to open interest?

Open interest measures how much leverage is open; the heatmap estimates where that leverage could be liquidated. Over 30 days it maps price levels with concentrated estimated LINK liquidations. Rising open interest alongside new dense bands near the price means fresh exposure is building close by.

How often is the Chainlink data updated?

Price, market cap, volume, open interest and liquidations update hourly, and funding rates refresh each funding period. The page is meant for reading market trends over hours and days, and most panels link to the full FMchart tool for that metric.
