Foundation non-validating node

Overview

The Hyper Foundation runs a non-validating node to provide reliable, low latency data access. As a reminder, running a non-validating node is permissionless. This non-validating node is available for those who would benefit from a reliable peer with fewer hops to validating nodes.

The Foundation non-validating node is made available on a best-efforts basis to support access to publicly available data on the Hyperliquid blockchain. No guarantees are made regarding availability, latency, performance, or data completeness, and the node should not be relied upon as a sole or authoritative source of data for any trading or time-sensitive activity. Users connecting to the Foundation non-validating node are solely responsible for verifying any data received and for operating their own infrastructure if needed. Access may be modified, rate-limited, or discontinued at any time without notice.

The Foundation non-validating node runs in apne1-az1 on AWS.

Potential use cases

Automated traders can run a non-validating node pointing to the Foundation non-validating node. The local non-validating node can record fills and orders with output file buffering disabled for real-time streaming data. A local API server can also be pointed at this local non-validating node to provide real-time API data. For more details see: https://github.com/hyperliquid-dex/node and L1 data schemas
