How much U did everyone sell from last night’s $SOPH ? Did you successfully sell it out at the first moment?

Friends who want to sell at a high point have been failing in trades, it's not because your hand speed is slow, but because the chain is lagging. Gas prices have surged, Pending is indefinite, and you watch helplessly as the price drops from 0.12 U to 0.08 U, and then... the trade fails.

At this point, you finally understand: you’re not not working hard, you’re just playing the wrong game.

So we started to change our way of living, studying how those big shots make money while lying down. For example, there’s a brother who doesn’t bother with all those messy projects. He focuses on arbitrage based on the contract fee settlement time difference, summarized in one sentence:

  • 'While others get up early for airdrops, I arbitrage fees in the early morning.'


🎭 One hour, one piece of meat difference


Let’s review last night’s 'fee comedy' scene, it was perfect for a time difference arbitrage!

Binance SOPH contract fees (left figure):

  • 2025-5-29 00:00:00 -2%

  • 2025-5-29 01:00:00 -1.1231%

  • 2025-5-29 02:00:00 -0.3579%

  • 2025-5-29 03:00:00 -0.6573%

ZhiMa SOPH contract fees (right figure):

  • 2025-5-29 04:00:00 -1.2281%

Profit (taking 10,000 U as an example)

  • Hedging: 5000 U Binance contract long position + 5000 U ZhiMa short position

  • 1x contract fee interest: 2 + 1.1231 + 0.3579 + 0.6573 = 4.1383%

    5000 * 4.1383% = 206.915 U

  • 5x contract fee interest: 4.1383% * 5 = 20.6915%

    5000 * 20.6915% = 1034.575 U

You read that right, it’s about earning 1000+ U, and it’s earned through low-risk hedging without having to guess the ups and downs of SOPH. Just keep enough margin in the contract account, and you can earn 1000 U. The same applies for 10x leverage, calculate it yourself.


💡 What is time difference arbitrage?

In simple terms:

You set up a wave of 'high subsidy' short positions on Binance in advance, and while ZhiMa is still 'sleepy' during the settlement, you take advantage of the difference to arbitrage.

It’s like two companies issuing year-end bonuses, Company A pays in December, and Company B pays in January. If you switch jobs in December, you get two bonuses!

(Of course, if you do this in reality, you’ll be blacklisted by HR, but contract arbitrage won’t.)

😂 Joke time: The inner monologue of arbitrage.


I just told a friend that I made some money through 'time difference arbitrage',

He asked me: 'What is time difference arbitrage?'

I said: 'It’s when others are still sleeping, I’m already making money off their losses.'

He said: 'This sounds like the early risers of the financial world.'

I said: 'No, I’m a four o’clock person.'

He: ……

I: ……

SOPH contract: …… I just want to settle the fee well, why does it feel like time travel because of you guys?


✅ Summary: Don't let the fees drain you, let time send you money.


Does this wave of SOPH contract settlement time difference arbitrage feel like shearing sheep?

No, it’s more advanced than shearing sheep — this is 'the scythe of time's leeks.'

If you don’t arbitrage, time will arbitrage you!


So, starting today:

Don’t just focus on the price, pay attention to the settlement points;

Don’t just stay up late binge-watching, learn to 'siphon money at set points';

Supplement: Not limited to Binance/ZhiMa, Binance/OKEx is also possible, because Binance's SOPH fee settlement is faster than others. As of the time of writing, it remains so.
