Kalshi doesn't list a monthly Chainlink ladder to hedge against yet. BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, gold and silver have one.

Live from Kalshi's public perps API, Nov 10, 2026, 1:01 AM ET. Funding uses the LINK 30-day average per 8-hour window (+0.0415%); a single print can run to Kalshi's ±2% cap. Liquidation ignores fees and funding already paid, which pull it closer. See every print on the Chainlink perps page.

What to know about Chainlink perps

Chainlink funds three times a day like every Kalshi crypto perp. Smaller coins get less leverage than Bitcoin and Ethereum, and on most of them shorts have paid longs more often than the other way around.

Chainlink perps on Kalshi — frequently asked

What is the funding rate on Kalshi Chainlink perps?

Chainlink funds three times a day, at 12 a.m., 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET. Since launch the average has worked out to 10.9% a year paid by longs, and 79% of the 463 prints paid nothing because Kalshi rounds rates under 0.01% to zero. The most recent print was +0.0285%.

How much leverage can I use on Kalshi Chainlink perps?

At a $1,000 position Kalshi allowed about 3.7x long and 4.0x short when this page last refreshed. Bigger positions get less. A 3x long sat about 12.4% above its liquidation price, because Kalshi liquidates at maintenance margin, not at zero.

What are the fees on Kalshi Chainlink perps?

Kalshi charges perps fees on the full notional value of the position (margin × leverage), once to open and once to close. At the entry tier that is 0.120% for a taker fill and 0.020% for a resting maker fill; rates step down as your 30-day volume grows, and Kalshi counts your prediction-market volume toward that tier, not just perps.

Can I hedge a Chainlink perp with a Kalshi event contract?

Not directly yet. Kalshi doesn’t list a monthly Chainlink ladder to hedge against. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, gold and silver have one.

Perps carry leverage and can lose your entire margin quickly. Numbers are read from Kalshi's public API and our own math; PredictionMarketsPicks is independent of Kalshi. Trade responsibly.
