Every chart moves the same way

  • Every price and time chart now moves like the liquidation heatmap: drag the scale at the side up or down to stretch or compress it (shift + drag moves it), the mouse wheel over the scale does the same, and a double-click on the scale fits it again. This works on the price and on every pane below it (open interest, funding, long/short, CVD, liquidations), on the order book heatmap and on the footprint chart.
  • Drag the chart to move in time; once a scale was stretched, the same drag also moves it up and down. Shift + drag zooms into the selected time range (on the liquidation heatmap this used to be a plain drag), Ctrl or ⌘ + scroll zooms around the pointer, and a plain scroll keeps scrolling the page. On phones: swipe sideways to move in time, pinch to zoom, one finger on the scale stretches it.
  • Double-click the chart or press Reset to get the full range and the automatic scales back. Keyboard: + and − zoom, 0 resets, and each scale is a slider with the arrow keys.

Security is a section of its own, with the live security news first

  • Security has its own place in the main menu with four tabs: Latest (the live security news: hacks, depegs, oracle deviations, unusual outflows and moves of listed wallets, with the latest verified incidents and stablecoin prices next to them), Hack database, Listed wallets and How we report.
  • The Security chip on News opens Security › Latest, and old links to the Security filter of News land there with their coin and severity filters. All on News still lists every security item.
improved

Coin history per venue, a Sentiment tab, fewer heatmap buttons, RPC prices

  • The daily history of each coin shows the liquidations per venue: Hyperliquid, Binance, Bybit, Lighter or all venues together. Hyperliquid comes from the official hourly archive with every liquidation since 26 May 2025. A line under the table names since when each venue is recorded; "-" marks a day that was not recorded, $0 a recorded day without liquidations.
  • Markets › Sentiment is a tab of its own: Blockmetric Sentiment with the score of every input and 90 days of history (it was a panel under Markets › Tools).
  • Liquidation heatmap: the 12h interval is no longer a button, 1D covers the long views. Links with tf=12h and the API keep working.
  • RPC: a dedicated node is priced on request, per chain and region. The plan cards say how the rate works: Global plans name the peak requests per second within the credits, dedicated throughput its sustained rate.
  • The free API key reads every coin's heatmap for the last 24 hours; columns finer than 15 minutes through the old stepMinutes parameter need a paid plan, as tf=5m does (API 1.23.0).

improved

Longer history: whale events, candles and large liquidations kept 3 years

  • Whale events (opens, closes and positions near liquidation) and 1-hour candles are now kept for 3 years instead of 400 days.
  • Every single liquidation is still kept for 120 days. After that the liquidations of $10,000 or more now stay as single events for 3 years: the single event list of the API, single event downloads and the largest liquidation of a long window include them. Liquidation totals keep coming from the hourly sums, which count every liquidation once and are kept without a time limit.
improved

Alerts: Discord delivery removed

  • Alerts are delivered by e-mail, Telegram, alert webhooks and Telegram groups. Discord delivery has been removed from every plan, and the Discord section of the notification settings is gone.
  • A rule that delivered only to Discord now shows "no working channel" on the alerts page: edit it and pick another channel. Rules with another channel keep delivering there.
improved

Liquidation heatmap: measured values only, 1-minute history for 30 days

  • Every heatmap column is now a measured snapshot. The columns reconstructed from fills (introduced on 3 Nov) are gone: their liquidation prices were our computation, because deposits, withdrawals and transfers are not in the fill data.
  • Live columns start on 3 Nov 2026 at 14:15 UTC, when our collection ran complete and without gaps. Before that a column shows the daily snapshot of every open Hyperliquid position with its time; after it a column without a live snapshot (for example during an update) shows the daily snapshot until the next live one. All columns share one colour scale, and the ones showing the daily snapshot are marked by a thin line along the top.
  • The 1-minute heatmap of the top 20 coins is now kept for 30 days instead of 7.
  • Drag the price scale on the right of the heatmap up or down to stretch or compress the price range, like on a trading chart (double-click resets). Chart settings › Layers › Heatmap hides the liquidation levels and shows the price alone.
  • Liquidation totals and long/short series (charts, downloads, API) now reach back as far as the plan history: up to 3 years on Desk and API Pro, as far as the data is stored. Downloads name the first stored day.
  • Yearly prices for new purchases: Pro and Desk keep 20% off; API Dev, API Pro and the RPC plans are 10% off (API Dev $529, API Pro $2,689 a year). Running subscriptions keep their price. The Yearly switch shows the saving.
  • One rule for Free on every coin: the liquidation heatmap of every coin for the last 24 hours with 15m and 1h columns (BTC, ETH and HYPE no longer have 30 days, every other coin is no longer a preview); the same on the free API key, in widgets and share images. Pro opens 2 days up to 1 year and 5m to 1D columns, Desk 1m and 3 years.
  • History tables and charts show Free the last 30 days, Pro 1 year and Desk 3 years; older days are shown as locked, never left out silently. CSV and JSON downloads are now part of Pro (up to 1 year) and Desk (up to 3 years).
  • Coin history pages start the liquidation columns on the first day our liquidation collection was complete and say so, instead of a long run of empty cells.

improved

Desk trial: every tool from day one, bulk data at Pro level until the first payment

  • The 7-day Desk trial opens every Desk tool and limit at once: 1-minute heatmap, heatmap grid, replay, hit-rate lab, combined alerts, 250 alerts, 50 live wallets, alert webhooks, Telegram groups and priority support.
  • During the trial the personal API key (20/min, 5,000/day), the history depth (1 year), the order-flow depth (7 days) and wallet CSV exports run at Pro level. The first payment unlocks the rest; "Start Desk now" under Plan & billing ends the trial at once. The Pro trial is unchanged.
  • Support requests from Desk and API Pro accounts are marked as priority when they reach us.
  • Pricing: the 1D heatmap history names its missing days, the heatmap intervals and order flow say how far back each one reaches, and the data sources name Lighter.
improved

Liquidation heatmap: columns between the daily snapshots reconstructed from fills

  • Intraday columns without a stored snapshot (before our live collection started, or during a gap) now show the levels of every open Hyperliquid position reconstructed from fills: every fill between two daily snapshots is replayed from the nearer snapshot, every 15 minutes. They are faded, labelled "Reconstructed from fills" and say how far they are from a real snapshot. Live columns are unchanged.
  • Deposits, withdrawals and transfers between accounts are not in the fills, so the reconstructed levels are approximate; each coin and day is checked against the next real snapshot and the result is in the API.
  • API: data.dataSource marks every column live, reconstructed_fills or daily_snapshot; columns=live returns the live columns only.

improved

API and RPC, each in its own place

  • The API (our market data as JSON) and RPC (direct blockchain access over JSON-RPC) now have a menu item each, and a short "API or RPC?" on both pages explains the difference.
  • Pricing has three tabs, Trading, API and RPC, each with its own plans, comparison table and questions.
improved

Widgets, blog, yearly prices and the price ticker

  • Widgets: 13 embeddable widgets (6 reworked, 7 new) and a builder that writes the embed code for you.
  • Blog: five guides from our own data, on liquidation heatmaps, funding and funding arbitrage, open interest and long/short, Hyperliquid whales and the crypto hacks of 2026.
  • Yearly prices: 12 monthly prices minus 20%, rounded down to the dollar. Pro $278, Desk $758, API Dev $470 and API Pro $2,390 a year.
  • The price ticker always shows 10 coins from edge to edge, and the coin history page now goes back a year (price candles and funding loaded from the public history).

improved

A cleaner site

  • News without routine funding flips: funding extremes only for the largest markets, repeats of a coin at most once a day.
  • One page each for data & methodology, for learning (glossary and metrics) and for help & contact; Security is a filter of News next to the hack database.
  • Removed the coin comparison pages and the separate order-flow overview (old links forward to the coin pages), empty panels and duplicate link lists.
  • A blog with guides and analyses from our own data, every number dated.
improved

More to see for free, new prices

  • Free: the liquidation heatmap of every coin for the last 24 hours (BTC, ETH and HYPE with 30 days), and the liquidation levels now of every coin.
  • Free: every wallet stat (win rate, holding time, drawdown, Sharpe, style, PnL calendar), the top 100 traders with every column, 3 watchlists of 25 and order flow of the last 24 hours for BTC, ETH and HYPE.
  • Prices: Pro $29, Desk $79, API Dev $49 and API Pro $249 a month. A year costs 12 monthly prices minus 20%, rounded down to the dollar. Enterprise is a yearly contract from $12,000.
  • The 7-day free trial of Pro and Desk is unchanged: a payment method up front, a reminder before it ends, and the 14-day money-back guarantee on the first payment.

improved

More in every plan, and a money-back guarantee

  • Free: 30 days of history and 5 alerts. Pro: 50 alerts, Desk and API Pro: 250 alerts.
  • Live wallets: Liquidation Guard and wallet alerts share one number: 1 on Free, 10 on Pro and API Dev, 50 on Desk and API Pro.
  • Bigger personal API keys: Pro 20 requests/min and 5,000/day, Desk 30/min and 10,000/day. API Dev gets webhooks (2 endpoints).
  • Desk now starts with a 7-day free trial as well, and every paid plan has a 14-day money-back guarantee on its first payment (API plans: with light use).
  • Price guarantee: the price of a running subscription never goes up while it stays active. Every limit of every plan is now on the pricing page.
improved

A calmer, app-like design

  • New look across the site: Inter type, rounded cards, icons, the same panel and button sizes everywhere.
  • On phones a bottom tab bar (Markets · Coins · Whales · News · Alerts) and touch-sized controls.
  • Liquidation heatmap: longs in green and shorts in red, each side on its own colour scale; the legend shows both.
  • Account pages share one header and tab bar, so it no longer moves when you switch tabs.

improved

Plans: real-time feed and alerts for everyone

  • Free: the whale and news feed is now real time (the 15-minute delay is gone).
  • Free accounts can create 3 alert rules (whale, cluster, funding and more), in addition to Liquidation Guard for 1 wallet.
  • Discord delivery of alerts is now part of Pro (before: Desk).
  • API Dev covers the liquidation heatmap and liquidation map endpoints for every coin.
