Market Price - Adjusted price, including premium/discount for the asset, based on skew
Index Price - Raw asset price provided by Pyth with no skew adjustments
24H Change - Dollar amount change of an asset on a rolling 24h basis
Funding Rate - A continuous funding rate is levied on Kwenta and is charged every block. Longs pay shorts when funding is positive, and shorts pay longs when funding is negative. Funding is designed to incentivize balanced open interest. Skew is not directly proportional to funding, but impacts funding rate velocity. If skew is positive, funding is increasing, and if skew is negative, funding is decreasing.
Open Interest - The total size of all outstanding positions on either side of the market
Skew - The balance between long and short open interest. Positive skew means longs outnumber shorts, and negative skew means shorts outnumber longs.
