What this page answers

Bathymark reads perps through open interest, funding rates, visible order-book depth, and cross-venue funding dispersion. It shows where leverage is building, where it is being worked off, and where traders are paying to keep crowded positions open.

Open interest is the pile

Open interest is the amount of leverage still open in a market. It does not say direction by itself, but it says how much borrowed conviction is sitting on the book.

Funding is the rent

Funding is what one side pays the other to keep a perpetual contract near the spot price. When funding gets extreme, the crowded side is paying rent to stay crowded.
