Hyperliquid Top Traders Leaderboard

What does Hyperliquid Leaderboard do?

Hyperliquid Leaderboard tracks the top traders on Hyperliquid — the fully on-chain perpetuals DEX — and returns structured data on their PnL, ROI, trading volume, and account size across 24h, 7d, 30d, and all-time windows. Every row includes the trader's Hyperliquid explorer URL for direct verification. No API key, no wallet, no setup.

Hyperliquid publishes all perpetual trading rankings on-chain, making every leaderboard position publicly verifiable. This actor fetches the official stats API and returns clean, filterable JSON — ideal for copy-trade research, market sentiment signals, and automated whale monitoring.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? All data is fetched directly from the official Hyperliquid stats API — the same data shown on Hyperliquid's public leaderboard. This is not scraped; it is a fully on-chain, free public endpoint.

What is the difference between PnL and ROI rankings on Hyperliquid? PnL (absolute USD) favors large accounts — a whale who made $1M is ranked above a smaller trader who made $100K even if the smaller trader had a higher percentage return. ROI ranking rewards capital efficiency and is better for identifying skilled traders rather than well-capitalized ones.

Can I use this for automated copy-trading? This actor provides the data layer — leaderboard rankings with addresses and explorer links. Execution (opening positions) requires connecting to Hyperliquid's trading API separately. This actor is for research and data collection only.

Disclaimer: Leaderboard rankings reflect historical performance and do not guarantee future results. Perpetual trading rankings on Hyperliquid change daily. Past top-trader performance is not indicative of future profitability. This actor is for informational and research purposes only — not financial advice.
