Reading these numbers
Maximum leverage only applies to small positions. Every exchange splits a contract into margin tiers: as the position grows, the allowed leverage falls and the maintenance margin rate rises, so the liquidation price moves closer to entry. The second table shows where each exchange draws those lines for TAO. If you plan a large position, check it there before choosing the exchange.
Funding is paid between longs and shorts, not to the exchange. Over a position held for days it often costs more than trading fees, and the rate can differ a lot between exchanges for the same coin.
