Coverage: liquidation buckets are sparse. An omitted or empty bucket can mean no observed events or missing recording; it is not proof of zero exchange activity. Recorded history boundaries do not establish complete exchange history. Check gaps, db and any error; gaps: null means coverage is unknown, and an empty response can mean history is unavailable.

How it's counted. Open interest is the USD value of open perpetual positions (one side) at the mark price, summed over the Lighter markets this site tracks; stablecoin pairs are left out. Funding is the 8-hour equivalent, weighted by each market's open interest. OI changes come from 5-minute snapshots this site records and show "—" until that much history exists.
