Providers in this category expose different grains and windows. A provider may offer an aggregated book, a live order stream, a chain or RPC surface, a file archive, or a dashboard; a ticker label does not tell you which. Compare the named data type, order grain, cadence, historical start, replay behavior, and venue coverage before choosing a source. 0xArchive is built for Hyperliquid and Lighter market data. It provides order-level depth on Hyperliquid and Lighter, covers Hyperliquid core, Spot, HIP-3, and HIP-4 as separate families, and has Hyperliquid core order-book and trade history back to April 15, 2023, the earliest start on this page. This page compares the providers that actually carry this data on the axes that decide a backtest: how far the history goes, how deep the book reconstructs, and which venues are covered.
Evidence checked August 28, 2026. The comparison uses first-party Tardis Hyperliquid, Tardis Lighter, CoinAPI Hyperliquid L4, Dwellir L4, GoldRush Hyperliquid, and Hydromancer Reservoir pages. 0xArchive dates use Venue coverage, Hyperliquid L4, and Lighter L3. Not stated means the cited page does not state the capability or window; it does not establish availability either way.

The Comparison

Coverage below uses first-party pages checked August 28, 2026. Not stated means the provider does not list the capability publicly on the cited page; it does not establish availability either way.

​
How Far Back The Data Goes

Depth is only useful if the history is there to reconstruct against. Hyperliquid core order books and trades run continuously from April 15, 2023, and core funding and open interest from May 20, 2023. Tardis’ first-party Hyperliquid page lists October 29, 2024 as its historical start. CoinAPI’s cited L4 launch note is dated June 22, 2026; it documents the L4 feed but does not establish a base historical start for this comparison. Coverage timeline: 0xArchive's Hyperliquid history starts April 2023, earlier than the Tardis start documented as October 2024; CoinAPI's cited L4 launch note is dated June 2026. Completed liquidation history is symbol-specific: BTC and ETH currently reach July 27, 2025, while other symbols start at their own coverage_by_type.liquidations date. Hyperliquid L4 order-level history begins in March 2026 on core and HIP-3 and in May 2026 on HIP-4; Spot order events and reconstructable checkpoints require separate coverage checks; order-lifecycle history is route-specific.

​
Order-Level Depth, On Both Venues

A backtest that only sees L2 sees aggregated price levels. 0xArchive reconstructs the Hyperliquid resting book to L4, where each order carries its oid and user_address: core and HIP-3 from March 2026, and HIP-4 from May 2026; Spot order events and reconstructable checkpoints require separate coverage checks. Order-history and order-flow records are separate route families. Lighter L3 individual-order depth begins in March 2026. Order-book depth ladder: L2 aggregates resting orders into price levels. L3 separates the same liquidity into individual resting orders. L4 adds order and owner identifiers to each resting order; order history and order flow are separate route families. CoinAPI’s Hyperliquid L4 documentation and Dwellir’s L4 documentation both document Hyperliquid order-level feeds. The cited GoldRush Hyperliquid overview also documents a live l4Book stream. The cited CoinAPI, Dwellir, and GoldRush pages do not state Lighter coverage. Tardis documents both venues, but its Hyperliquid page lists a 20-level l2Book channel and its Lighter page does not state an order-book depth. In the cited pages, 0xArchive is the only comparison service with documented order-level depth on Hyperliquid and Lighter together. L4 is Hyperliquid. L3 is Lighter.

​
Lighter Is The Widest Gap

Among the comparison providers other than 0xArchive, only Tardis documents Lighter history from April 17, 2026; its order-book depth is not stated. 0xArchive covers more than 200 Lighter markets. The earliest observed trade row is August 27, 2025, but exact starts vary by market. Funding and OI begin in August 2025, L2 tick data in January 2026, and L3 individual-order depth in March 2026. Current Lighter funding values must not be compared or annualized pending normalization repair. See venue coverage for the current Lighter market list.

​
When 0xArchive Is Not The Right Fit

  • Centralized-exchange breadth. 0xArchive is Hyperliquid and Lighter. For hundreds of CEXs in one contract, CoinAPI or a similar multi-venue API fits better.
  • Low-latency live infrastructure. 0xArchive is a historical and archival data API, not a co-located low-latency node. Dwellir’s Hyperliquid pages are the relevant fit when live order-book latency and node-backed delivery are the deciding axes.
  • Free tinkering. If the job is a weekend of exploration and cost is the only axis, Hydromancer’s free S3 archive can be enough.

​
Which Provider For Which Job

  • Perp-DEX microstructure across both venues, order-level, with the deepest history: 0xArchive. Why 0xArchive fits: it is the one archive here with order-level depth on both venues and the earliest Hyperliquid start.
  • Hyperliquid L4 alongside hundreds of centralized exchanges: CoinAPI. See CoinAPI vs 0xArchive.
  • Hyperliquid L4 with low-latency live infrastructure: Dwellir. See Dwellir vs 0xArchive.
  • Free Hyperliquid L2 exploration, no support needed: Hydromancer. See Hydromancer vs 0xArchive.
  • Lighter L2 or individual-order L3: 0xArchive is the only order-level (L3) option in this comparison; Tardis covers Lighter but does not state a depth. See Tardis vs 0xArchive.
  • Wallet and HyperCore account data, or live Hyperliquid L4 without Lighter history: GoldRush. See GoldRush vs 0xArchive.
