24h ETH funding stddev

Bybitn/aKrakenn/a

Ranked only with 24 hours of funding history (288 samples) and a stddev above zero: a young listing, or a venue whose rate has not moved since listing (Ondo Perps at launch, Polymarket in July), reads artificially stable and shows as Provisional, never as the leader. Stability is not directionality: a persistently positive but tight band ranks above a rate that flips every settlement.

Ratings reflect the current all-time average user rating from the Apple App Store as returned by the iTunes lookup API. Apple does not expose star-distribution breakdowns or time-windowed averages via the public API. A high rating with few reviews carries more statistical uncertainty than the same rating with tens of thousands of reviews. The review count column shows how many users contributed to each rating.

How this pair was selected

Auto-generated pairs require: both providers in the same benchmark for seven consecutive days, at least 1000 samples per provider, observable third-party search demand, and a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. Editorially curated pairs (like this one) may publish early when search demand is high and data is accruing; panels with fewer than 100 samples are shown as provisional. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo.
