Tardis keeps raw messages from 50+ exchanges
Tardis records each venue's WebSocket feed as it arrives and lets you replay it locally through its own server, or download normalized CSVs. On Hyperliquid that means trades, the 20-level book, a faster 5-level book since June 2026, best bid and offer, and asset context messages carrying funding, open interest and the mark price. Its trades carry buyer and seller addresses from December 2024.
The strength is one tool and one format across Binance, Bybit, Hyperliquid, Lighter and the rest. History depth follows your billing term: four months on monthly billing, a year on quarterly, four years on yearly.
0xArchive starts Hyperliquid 18 months earlier and stores every order
0xArchive's Hyperliquid book history begins on 15 April 2023, about 18 months before Tardis's first day. Since 10 March 2026 it also stores the order-level book (L4), with the order ID and wallet behind every resting order, served at any timestamp. On Lighter it stores the order-level book (L3) from March 2026.
Funding and open interest go back to May 2023, liquidations to December 2025, and HIP-3 and HIP-4 markets have their own routes. Build opens the full archive for $49 a month on any billing term.
When to use Tardis instead
1. Your strategy compares many exchanges. One Tardis subscription covers centralized venues and Hyperliquid in one format.
2. You want the raw message stream. Tardis replays exactly what the exchange sent, with its own receive timestamps.
3. You need a faster top of book. Its 5-level Hyperliquid book updates about twice a second since June 2026.
The Hyperliquid and Lighter providers comparison puts Tardis next to seven other providers.
Route references
