# Funding Fee

The `fundingFee` contract provides logic for calculating and settling funding fees, as well as querying the funding rate and pending (pre-settlement) funding fees.

## basePool

Funding rates are calculated using `basePool`. If for a given market the `basePool` is not set (ie. set to `0x000...`), funding fees will not be applied in this market. 

The `basePool` address can be queried using [config](https://docs.nekodex.org/nekodex-playground/docs-for-devs/contracts/config "mention").
