Hyperliquid Whale Positions & Perp Funding Arbitrage API

Capture real-time cross-exchange perpetual funding rate arbitrage APR across Hyperliquid, Binance, Bybit, dYdX v4, and Kraken Futures, alongside live Hyperliquid HLP Vault and institutional whale clearinghouse positions with exact liquidation distances. Engineered by Enigma Labs for delta-neutral basis desks, DeFi risk monitors, crypto research copilots, and autonomous AI Agents (mcp.apify.com)—running in seconds with $0 proxy overhead and zero geo-blocking failures.

What does Hyperliquid Whale Positions & Perp Funding Arbitrage API do?

Perpetual futures funding rates represent one of the cleanest market-neutral alpha sources in digital asset markets, yet funding intervals and API conventions vary wildly across centralized and decentralized exchanges (1-hour continuous rates on Hyperliquid, dYdX v4, and Kraken vs 4-hour and 8-hour intervals on Binance and Bybit). Worse, querying offshore CEX endpoints directly from US cloud regions frequently triggers HTTP 451 / 403 geo-blocks.

This Actor solves both problems natively. It combines Hyperliquid's on-chain clearinghouse oracle (predictedFundings + metaAndAssetCtxs) with live decentralized/institutional perpetual indexers (dYdX v4 and Kraken Futures) to normalize every venue onto an apples-to-apples Annualized Percentage Rate (APR %), while simultaneously inspecting Hyperliquid Liquidity Provider (HLP) strategy sub-vaults and multi-million-dollar leaderboard whale accounts:

Core Engine	Institutional Capability
5-Venue Funding Arbitrage Matrix	Normalizes 1h, 4h, and 8h funding rates across Hyperliquid, Binance, Bybit, dYdX v4, and Kraken into annualized APR %, automatically pairing the lowest-APR long_venue against the highest-APR short_venue to compute net_carry_apr_pct.
US-Cloud Geo-Block Immunity	Extracts Binance and Bybit perpetual funding rates directly from Hyperliquid's L1 consensus oracle (predictedFundings), eliminating 451 US-IP failures and paid residential proxy expenses.
HLP Sub-Vault & Whale Position Radar	Traverses Hyperliquid's parent HLP Vault (0xdfc2...f303), its active child strategy sub-vaults, and top $1.5M+ leaderboard traders via clearinghouseState to expose live LONG/SHORT notional size, entry price, unrealized PnL, leverage, and exact liquidation_px.
Liquidation Cascade Distance	Calculates real-time percentage distance from mark_price_usd to each whale's liquidation_px (distance_to_liq_pct) to flag leveraged squeeze and cascade zones before they hit the tape.

Why use this Actor?

• Delta-Neutral Basis & Carry Bots: Poll every 5 to 15 minutes via Apify Schedules or Webhooks to detect when net_carry_apr_pct spikes above 25%–100%+ APR on liquid majors or trending altcoins, complete with hl_open_interest_usd and hl_volume_24h_usd liquidity guardrails.
• Autonomous AI Agents & MCP Workflows: Connect directly to Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenAI Agents SDK, or LangGraph via https://mcp.apify.com. Ask your agent "Which perpetual markets currently pay over 30% net funding APR between Hyperliquid and Binance, and how are Hyperliquid whales positioned on SOL and BTC?" and get verified, real-time clearinghouse numbers.
• HLP & Smart-Money Orderflow Tracking: Monitor whether HLP strategy vaults and nine-figure Hyperliquid whales are absorbing retail longs, building leveraged shorts, or approaching tight liquidation thresholds.
• Treasury, Fund & Newsletter Reporting: Pipe structured JSON, CSV, or Parquet snapshots directly into Telegram alert bots, Discord alpha channels, Notion dashboards, Snowflake, or Google Sheets.

How much does it cost?

This Actor uses transparent Pay-Per-Event (PPE) pricing at $0.002 per emitted signal ($2.00 per 1,000 signals) via the perp_alpha_signal_emitted event—with zero proxy surcharges and sub-5-second compute footprints:

• Standard Radar Sweep (30 signals): $0.06 per run (15 top funding arbitrage pairs + 15 largest live whale positions).
• Focused Portfolio Check (10 signals): $0.02 per run.
• Deep Quant Scan (150 signals): $0.30 per run.
• Apify Free Tier ($5.00/month included credit): Powers 2,500 live funding arbitrage & whale position signals every month completely free.
• Zero Charge on Empty Filters: If strict symbols_filter + min_net_apr_pct criteria return zero matches, a clean diagnostic status item is pushed with $0.00 event fee.

Input parameters

Click Try for free to run an instant cross-exchange scan with prefilled defaults (completes in < 8 seconds), or tailor the radar using these parameters:

• mode (string, default: "all"): Choose "all" (balanced cross-exchange funding arbitrage + Hyperliquid whale positions), "funding_arbitrage" (delta-neutral carry spreads only), or "whale_positions" (live HLP & leaderboard whale positions only).
• symbols_filter (array of strings, optional, default: []): Restrict results to specific tickers such as ["BTC", "ETH", "SOL", "HYPE"]. Leave empty to scan all liquid perpetual markets automatically.
• min_net_apr_pct (number, default: 10.0): Minimum annualized net funding carry spread (short_funding_apr_pct - long_funding_apr_pct) required to emit a funding_arbitrage signal.
• max_signals (integer, default: 30, range: 1–250): Maximum number of alpha signals written to the output dataset.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) & Disclaimer

• Do I need exchange API keys or residential proxies to run this Actor? No. All clearinghouse states, predicted funding intervals, and perpetual orderbook tickers are queried from public L1 and institutional indexer endpoints using standard cloud networking with $0 proxy cost.
• How is Annualized Funding APR (%) calculated across exchanges with different intervals? Each venue's raw interval rate is first normalized to an exact 1-hour rate (fundingRate / fundingIntervalHours, such as dividing 4h or 8h Binance/Bybit intervals down to 1h) and then annualized via hourly_rate * 24 * 365 * 100.
• Does net_carry_apr_pct include taker fees, slippage, or borrow costs? net_carry_apr_pct reflects the gross annualized perpetual funding rate differential (short_funding_apr_pct - long_funding_apr_pct). Always factor in entry/exit execution fees, bid-ask spread, and margin maintenance buffers on both venues before deploying capital.
