Coverage. Aster: Crypto perps (stocks excluded): OI every 60s (top 60) or 5 min, funding every 60s; liquidations sampled, at most one per symbol per second. Added 2026-09-28. Lighter: Every liquidation on crypto perps (liquidation fills on the public trade stream); OI, volume and funding polled every 60s; added 2026-09-28.
How it's counted. Open interest is the USD value of open perpetual positions (one side) at the mark price, summed over the markets this site tracks; stablecoin pairs are left out. Shared coins are coins with a perpetual on both exchanges (Hyperliquid HIP-3 markets excluded); where an exchange lists several perps for a coin, the one with the most open interest is used. Funding is the 8-hour equivalent; the spread is Aster minus Lighter.
