HyperBasis Terminal Guide API Pricing Swagger Docs

Glossary

Definitions of every term HyperBasis uses in the terminal, the API and this documentation.

A–C

ADR ratio

A normalization factor used when a Hyperliquid perp's quote scale differs from its underlying TradFi instrument, so deviation comparisons are like-for-like.

Alignment

The method used to pair a Hyperliquid timestamp with the correct TradFi bar: exact, forward-fill, VWAP-interpolated, or market-closed (not emitted).

Anomaly

A deviation row beyond the historical threshold (oracle error or liquidity flash) that is flagged and excluded from statistics.

Capacity score

A normalized 0-100 measure of how much size an instrument can absorb within 1% of mid before impact becomes material.

D–F

Deviation

The percentage difference between the Hyperliquid mark price and the TradFi reference price.

Depth-1%

The dollar depth of the L2 orderbook within 1% of mid price.

Funding rate

The periodic payment between longs and shorts on Hyperliquid, quoted per hour and annualized by HyperBasis into an APR.

Funding-aligned / funding-opposed

Whether the funding payment works with or against a given arbitrage direction.

Friction cost

The estimated borrow/financing drag on a position, shown as a percentage.

G–O

INCOMPLETE

The data-quality flag for an asset with less than 95% coverage of the 90-day 5-minute standard.

Mark price

Hyperliquid's fair price used for funding and liquidation, captured every 10 seconds by HyperBasis.

Open interest

The total notional of open positions on an instrument.

Oracle lag

The percentage difference between Hyperliquid's mark and oracle prices.

P–W

Percentile

Where a current value ranks within its own historical distribution (30d/90d/1y).

Staleness guard

The rule that a TradFi quote older than 5 minutes flags the deviation TRADFI_STALE and disables it from live signals.

TRADFI_STALE

The flag on any deviation whose TradFi leg is older than 5 minutes.

Whale flow

Position changes of the 282-address tracked pool between 30-minute snapshots.

Z-score

How many standard deviations a current value sits from its historical mean.

Honest-limitations policy. HyperBasis labels every data gap instead of hiding it. Where a source does not exist (e.g., zero-volume Hyperliquid instruments that never traded), the product shows N/A rather than fabricated values.
