About this market
What is UNI perp?
UNI is a quiet mid-cap that becomes active mostly on governance headlines. AymarData has been recording the UNI perpetual on Hyperliquid since 2026-10-01 and holds 30.8K events so far, about 1,232 a day. History is forward-only: we record live and do not backfill.
UNI is the governance token of Uniswap, the largest decentralized exchange by cumulative volume. On Hyperliquid, UNI is moved by ETH price and on-chain DEX volume, which set protocol fee revenue, and by fee-switch and buyback governance votes. 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 1,232 events a day on UNI. 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.
