Hyperliquid Whale Tracker

Monitor top Hyperliquid perpetual traders' live positions, unrealized PnL, leverage, and distance-to-liquidation. Track copy-trade targets, spot crowded longs/shorts, and get pinged when whales blow up. No API key required.

What It Does

Hyperliquid is the largest on-chain perp DEX of 2025-26 with full position transparency — every trader's wallet, open positions, and fills are public. This Actor turns that firehose into a clean dataset:

• Real-time open positions per tracked trader (coin, size, direction, leverage)
• Entry price, mark price, unrealized PnL, return-on-equity
• Distance-to-liquidation in % — early-warning signal for cascading liquidations
• Recent fills (last N hours) with closed PnL + traded coins
• Trader-level summaries: account value, total notional, cross-leverage

---

Why This Matters

Most top crypto traders broadcast their wallet on Twitter. Following their positions used to require manual checks on hyperdash.info. This Actor automates it for your bot/dashboard:

• Copy-trade signals — see what 0xWhaleX is long/short before they tweet
• Liquidation cascades — when major whales are 1% from liq, the chain reaction starts there
• Crowded trade detection — if 8/10 tracked whales are short BTC, that's contrarian gold
