What this is
Gaming and virtual worldsAncient8 is a Vietnamese gaming guild that grew into its own chain on Arbitrum technology. They started as a collective renting in-game items to players (the Axie Infinity-era model) and, after the genre's decline, pivoted to infrastructure: a chain for games and an app storefront. Southeast Asia is the liveliest web3 gaming market by player count, and that is the project's main asset; the main risk is that the genre there rests on earning rather than on fun.

How to read this
- Funding is a payment between longs and shorts. A positive rate means longs pay shorts: the market is crowded long.
- The rate rank shows how unusual that rate is for this particular coin: 97 means above 97% of the last month, a rare skew. Without the rank the bare number says nothing — every coin has its own normal.
- Open interest is the money sitting in positions that are still open. Rising alongside price means new money entering; rising while price falls means shorts building up.
- The OI rank is measured in contracts rather than dollars: otherwise it would drift up with price alone and claim a record where nothing changed.
- NATR shows how much a coin moves relative to its own price. High NATR with high turnover is where today's action is.
