Updated
ArbTide is a free, real-time scanner for crypto funding rates and arbitrage opportunities across 36 centralized and perpetual DEX exchanges. It shows what an opportunity is worth after fees, not just the headline spread.
What we do
- Collect funding rates and bid/ask prices from exchange APIs every 10 to 30 seconds.
- Normalize funding to APR so different intervals can be compared.
- Find the best spot and perpetual price routes for every coin, net of taker fees.
- Explain every term in plain English in our learn section.
Why we built it
Most scanners show gross spreads. A 0.5% gap between two exchanges often turns into a loss after taker fees on both legs, or cannot be traded at size. We show the net spread, the size available at the quoted price and the exact formula behind each number. See the methodology.
Principles
- Net over gross. Fees are always subtracted.
- Transparent. Every formula and filter is documented, and every page links to the exchange market it uses.
- Fresh or hidden. Stale quotes are dropped instead of shown.
- Open to machines. Every page has a markdown version, and the scanners explain their inputs so answers can be checked and cited.
Independence
ArbTide does not hold user funds and does not execute trades. Some exchange links may become referral links; they never change which exchange is shown or how opportunities are ranked.
ArbTide is not financial advice. Read the disclaimer.
