An autonomous agent that holds spot and shorts the perp as one position, scores every rate against its cost, and collects funding every hour.
Perpetual futures pay whoever stands on the crowded side's opposite. AI999 stands there on purpose, fully hedged, and is paid every hour for holding a position that cannot move.
Every position is a spot buy and an equal perp short, opened together and sized to the unit. Price moves cancel out; the funding stream doesn't.
Trading fees, basis on entry and exit, and an expected holding period come off before a rate counts. Anything under the floor is skipped, and most rates are.
No leverage on the hedge and no directional bets. When longs pay shorts, AI999 is the short, and the spot it holds makes sure the short never costs it anything.

The default state of a bull market: longs crowd in and pay shorts to stay. AI999 buys spot, shorts the perp in equal size, and collects every hourly payment while the rate clears the floor.
enter if net APR ≥ 12% · size by depthWhen shorts pay longs, holding the hedge costs money. The agent doesn't argue with the rate: it unwinds both legs once funding stays negative and sits flat in USDC until the market turns.
exit after 3 negative prints in a rowSqueezes and listings can push a single hour to triple-digit annualized rates. AI999 enters spikes in tranches, caps size against the book, and treats a spike as a few prints, not a new normal.
