Institutional-Grade
On-Chain Order Flow
High-fidelity tick-level data for Hyperliquid and Polymarket. Captured via proprietary Layer 1 node infrastructure. Delivered in Zstd-compressed Parquet.
What You Can Build
Real use cases. Not hypothetical demos.
Smart Money Detection
Track wallet-level order flow to identify informed traders. Cluster wallets by behavior, detect accumulation/distribution patterns before price moves.
Execution Quality Analysis
Maker/taker attribution with per-fill fees. Model slippage, measure fill rates, and benchmark execution quality across venues.
ML Signal Engineering
Block-sequenced features with causal ordering guaranteed. Build order flow imbalance, cancel ratios, and toxicity signals for price prediction models.
Market Microstructure Research
20-level orderbook snapshots + funding rate dynamics across 10 assets. Study liquidity provision, OBI signals, and cross-asset correlations on a fully on-chain exchange.
Event Probability Forecasting
Train supervised models on 8,700+ resolved markets with ground-truth YES/NO outcomes. Beat crowd-implied odds using microstructure features.
Market Making & Spread Analysis
Tick-level L2 depth for liquidity profiling. Analyze bid-ask dynamics, depth imbalance, and optimal quote placement across prediction markets.
Academic Research
1.9B+ rows of prediction market microstructure — one of the largest publicly available datasets. Ideal for papers on information aggregation and market efficiency.
Feature Engineering Starter Kit
Pre-computed ML features — volatility, OBI, flow imbalance, spread metrics. Skip months of data wrangling and start modeling on day one.

Why This Data
Built for quants, not dashboards.
Wallet-Level Order Flow
Track individual accounts across executions. See who's placing, canceling, and getting filled.
Maker / Taker Attribution
Every fill tagged with execution role. Know who initiated each trade at the protocol level.
Block-Height Sequenced
Causal ordering guaranteed by L1 block sequence. No timestamp drift, no exchange clock skew.
Parquet-Native
Zstd-compressed, columnar storage. One line of Python to load. No JSON parsing, no CSV headers.
Cross-Asset Coverage
Crypto majors, DeFi protocols, memecoins, and index perps — all on decentralized order books. Incredibly rare dataset.
No License Restrictions
Public blockchain data. Use it for research, backtesting, ML training, or academic papers. No NDA required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the data.
What is L1 Ticks?
L1 Ticks provides institutional-grade on-chain order flow data from Hyperliquid and Polymarket. Data is captured directly from Layer 1 blockchain infrastructure at ~400ms block resolution — not scraped from public APIs. Every order placement, cancellation, fill, and book state change is recorded per-block and delivered in Zstd-compressed Apache Parquet format.
How is the data captured?
We operate proprietary L1 node infrastructure that parses raw ABCI block data in real-time. A Hyperliquid validator node streams block events through our pipeline, which extracts orders, fills, book state, and funding data. No public API scraping — data comes directly from the blockchain with causal ordering guaranteed by block height.
What format is the data in?
All data ships as Apache Parquet files with Zstd level 3 compression. One line of Python loads the entire
dataset: polars.read_parquet("orders/*.parquet"). Columnar storage means you can scan
billions of rows in seconds. No JSON parsing, no CSV header issues, no data type guessing.
What markets are covered?
Hyperliquid: BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, SPX, PAXG, XRP, LINK, AAVE, and DOGE perpetual futures — spanning crypto majors, DeFi, TradFi-bridge, and meme sectors.
Polymarket: Full L2 orderbook for prediction markets with 1.9B+ tick-level rows across thousands of resolved markets.
Is there a free sample?
Yes. A free 7-day BTC sample with orders, fills, book, and funding data is available on Kaggle. Polymarket starter data is also included. No sign-up required — download and explore immediately.
