About this market
What is LIT perp?
LIT is the token of a rival perpetuals exchange, so flow reflects competition between venues and tends to cluster around volume-share announcements. AymarData has been recording the LIT perpetual on Hyperliquid since 2026-10-01 and holds 35.2K events so far, about 1,408 a day. History is forward-only: we record live and do not backfill.
LIT is the token of Lighter, a competing perpetuals DEX. On Hyperliquid, LIT is moved by perp-DEX competition — Lighter and Hyperliquid volume share, and by unlock events and airdrop distribution. The venue adds its own mechanics: funding is paid hourly rather than every eight hours, and positions are on-chain, so liquidation clusters and large wallets are visible rather than inferred.
Around 1,408 events a day on LIT. That is enough to study funding carry on an hourly clock, liquidation-driven moves and how quickly makers re-quote after a sweep — and thin enough that individual large orders are clearly visible.

LIT perp: common questions
What can I research with LIT data on Hyperliquid?
Funding carry on an hourly clock, how depth reacts to liquidation clusters, and basis against centralized venues. About 1,408 events a day is enough for these studies, but not for tight latency work.
What moves the LIT perp on Hyperliquid?
Perp-DEX competition — Lighter and Hyperliquid volume share, and unlock events and airdrop distribution. Hyperliquid's hourly funding and on-chain liquidations amplify both effects. LIT is the token of a rival perpetuals exchange, so flow reflects competition between venues and tends to cluster around volume-share announcements.
How far back does LIT data on Hyperliquid go?
Recording started 2026-10-01, and it is forward-only — we do not backfill Hyperliquid. That is about 25 days and 35.2K events at the time of this page. Coverage grows every day.
How is funding stored for LIT?
As separate events (event_type=funding) with a funding_rate field, in the same time-ordered stream as trades and L2 updates. Hyperliquid pays funding hourly, so expect 24 funding events a day for LIT.
Can I compare LIT on Hyperliquid with a centralized venue?
LIT is not in the top-20 Binance perp list we publish, so cross-venue comparison would need another source. Check the catalog for what is available, or request a dataset.
