06 / RESEARCH & CONTEXT

Research & learn.

Understand the measure. Follow the evidence. Find a clear path from a question to the data.

01 / FOLLOW A QUESTION

Find the right starting point.

02 / KNOW THE SCOPE

What each study covers.

These tools have different observation boundaries. Availability and freshness are shown inside each study.

HIP-3 and RWA-linked markets

Filter reviewed contract categories, inspect current volume, open interest and funding, and open individual price histories.

Coverage boundaryClassification covers a reviewed set of trade[XYZ] contracts. Other markets remain unclassified; composition is a current snapshot, not a historical market-share series.

Explore HIP-3 & RWA

Markets and wallet activity

Explore market contexts, recorded funding, wallet positions and sampled TWAP states.

Coverage boundaryLiquidation thresholds are not executed events. Complete market-wide liquidations, TWAPs and unstaking queues are not covered.

Inspect the activity sample

Protocol income

Read dated fee and revenue reports alongside separate Assistance Fund executions and supply observations.

Coverage boundaryFull revenue segmentation and complete priority-fee accounting are unavailable. Provider totals retain their own attribution.

Inspect revenue reports

Capital and lending

Explore reported TVL, HLP, pool histories and HyperCore reserve states with saved rate, utilization and balance observations.

Coverage boundaryReserve history grows from foreground snapshots, with hourly gaps and original receipts. No background lending collection or complete historical series is established.

Showing 8 of 24 definitions

Markets

Mark price

The reference price reported for a perpetual contract. Liquid Data displays it separately from the oracle price and an order-book midpoint.

Read it as
Market quote currency
Keep in mind
A reference price is not a guarantee that an order can execute at that price.
Markets

Trading volume

The reported value of trades during a period. Market cards use the provider’s rolling 24-hour notional turnover.

Read it as
Market quote currency over the stated period
Keep in mind
Compare the same period and quote currency. Volume measures activity; it does not measure money entering the network.
Markets

Open interest

The outstanding contract quantity at an observation time. Quote-valued open interest multiplies that quantity by the current mark price.

Read it as
Base asset units or quote value
Keep in mind
Quote value can rise because price rises. Open interest alone does not tell you whether traders are bullish or bearish.
Markets

Funding rate

A payment rate between perpetual traders. Positive rates mean longs pay shorts; negative rates mean shorts pay longs. Hyperliquid settles funding hourly.

Read it as
% per hour
Keep in mind
Funding is a transfer between traders, separate from protocol revenue. A current rate is not a guaranteed future yield.
Markets

Bid–ask spread

The difference between the best available ask and bid. The basis-point view divides that difference by the midpoint and multiplies by 10,000.

Read it as
Quote currency or basis points
Keep in mind
A narrow spread does not establish how much size is available deeper in the book.
Markets

Order-book depth

The visible resting buy and sell orders within the selected distance from the midpoint.

Read it as
Displayed size or notional within a price band
Keep in mind
This is a changing book snapshot. Orders can move or cancel, and a bounded response is not the entire market.
Markets

Liquidation price

The reported liquidation threshold for a position under its current account conditions.

Read it as
Market quote currency
Keep in mind
A cluster of sampled thresholds shows possible exposure. It is not a record of liquidations that actually happened.
Markets

TWAP

A time-weighted average price order spreads execution across smaller slices over a chosen duration.

Read it as
Order size, remaining size and duration
Keep in mind
Remaining size describes an order’s current state. It does not guarantee future fills; the tape covers a disclosed wallet sample.
04 / BUILD THE CONTEXT

Five foundation notes.

Short explanations that connect the measures to their underlying mechanisms.

Use the original documentation for current protocol rules and technical details.

These definitions explain the measures used on Liquid Data. Each chart retains its own source, observation period and coverage. Read our methodology or check data health.

ConnectingFeed details

Waiting for streaming market data.

Perpetual contexts and available spot reference prices stream. Individual figures retain their own receipt times. Protocol cards refresh public sources independently; historical charts and issuer reports keep their reporting dates.
