HL Whales — Hyperliquid whales
Real-time positions of the largest Hyperliquid traders: a summary of whale longs and shorts by coin, a feed of opens and closes, top positions with leverage, entry and liquidation price.
What it is
Hyperliquid is a decentralized exchange: the positions of every account on it are public. HL Whales watches the largest accounts and shows what they hold and how they change positions.
A whale is an account with at least $1M of equity in perpetual futures, sub-accounts included. We take candidates from the Hyperliquid leaderboard every 6 hours and poll positions in a loop about every 2 minutes. About 270 whales are tracked now.
The widget is in the menu "Screeners → Microstructure → HL Whales", Pro plan and above. Clicking a row opens the market on the chart, clicking a whale opens its account on hypurrscan.
Coins

Top
The Top tab: the largest whale positions.
The largest open positions: coin, side, notional, unrealized PnL (gray — return on margin), leverage, entry, liquidation price and "Held" — how long the service has seen this position. A dash in "Held" means the position was opened before the service started.
How to use it
- A strong net skew and its change over an hour — where large accounts are shifting on a coin. It stands out most when Δ1h grows against the current price move.
- Liquidation prices of large positions — levels where a cascade may start: if price gets there, the position is closed by force. Compare with the Liquidation Map.
- Flips in the feed from several whales on one coin in a short time — a reason to open its chart.
The summary shows positions, not strategy profitability. We store the event history to test "follow the whales", but have not yet measured whether it beats the market.
