0xArchive published a page comparing itself with Dwellir for Hyperliquid market data. The Dwellir prices and dates on it match our pages. It also makes the main point well: the two products do different jobs. This is our side of the same comparison, and a few additions are listed at the end.
Dwellir wrote this page, and we sell one of the two products. Every price and date below comes from a public page, checked on 11 November 2026, with a link to the source. If you find something out of date, tell us at support@dwellir.com and we will correct it.
The short version
0xArchive is a market data API. You ask for the order book, trades, funding or open interest at a time, and it returns the answer over REST or WebSocket. It covers Hyperliquid and Lighter, publishes per-GB export prices, and has a free tier for the last 30 days.
Dwellir runs Hyperliquid nodes and sells what they produce: the raw files a node writes to disk, live streams over gRPC and WebSocket, JSON-RPC and HyperEVM endpoints, dedicated nodes and peering. The historical archive is for teams that want the source records and do their own replay, reconstruction or audit.
If you want an answer from one API call, 0xArchive is the closer fit. If you want the inputs and will build the answer yourself, or you also need node infrastructure, Dwellir is the closer fit.
Side by side

| Live raw node feeds | Live mempool stream on Pro and above; no block, fill or order-status node feeds | gRPC: blocks, fills, order statuses, book diffs, misc events, TWAP statuses, mempool, plus 14 typed market streams. $299 a month plus usage |
| JSON-RPC, Info endpoint, HyperEVM, dedicated nodes | Not offered | Yes. Dedicated Hyperliquid clusters from $4,000 a month |
| Lighter | Yes | No |
| Node peering | Tokyo, one allowlisted peer, mempool included, $200 a month per node address | Tokyo, one node IP on three Dwellir peers, full mempool, 99.9% monthly uptime SLA, $500 a month per slot |
| Entry price | Free $0 (last 30 days); Build $49 a month; Pro $199; Scale $799 | Free plan; paid API plans from $49 a month; S3 archive quoted per dataset |
| Bulk history | Parquet exports at $4/GB (L4, trades), $3/GB (L2, L3), $0.50/GB (funding, OI) | Read-only S3 key to the purchased prefixes and dates; you copy the files to your own storage |

When 0xArchive is the better choice
You want the book at a timestamp in one call. If your question is "what did the BTC book look like at 14:03:12 on 2 June", 0xArchive returns it in one REST request. With Dwellir you download the snapshot before that moment and apply the book diffs up to it. For about the last 3 hours (the gRPC retention window), GetOrderbookSnapshot returns the snapshot covering a timestamp in one call. That is work you only want to do if you need control over it.
You need history before 2025. 0xArchive serves core trades and the price-level book from April 2023. Dwellir's raw archive starts with replica_cmds on 25 January 2025, and order-level data starts on 22 January 2026. 0xArchive's L4 data starts in 2026, and coverage varies by symbol (see their coverage docs).
You backtest on funding or open interest. 0xArchive serves both from 20 May 2023. Dwellir has no funding or open interest series. Our misc events archive holds settled funding payments from 29 June 2026, which is useful for reconciling a wallet's funding but is not a market-wide rate history.
You want live and replay on one connection. 0xArchive streams live data and replays stored history over the same WebSocket on every plan. Dwellir's gRPC streams replay about the last 3 hours and then tail live; older data comes from the archive as files.
You want to self-serve with a published price. 0xArchive prices exports per GB and gives a quote before purchase. Dwellir publishes prices for its APIs and streams, lists candle export prices in the dashboard, and quotes S3 archive datasets by email.
You run one node and want low-cost peering in Tokyo. 0xArchive peering is $200 a month per node address. Dwellir peering is $500 a month per slot. The products differ: ours allowlists your node on three peers with a monthly uptime SLA, theirs gives you one allowlisted peer. If one peer is enough for you, theirs costs less.
You also trade on Lighter. 0xArchive covers Lighter under the same key. Dwellir does not.
When Dwellir is the better choice
You replay the chain yourself. replica_cmds holds every block's signed actions and execution responses from 25 January 2025. Combined with a periodic ABCI state checkpoint (from 14 April 2026), you can rebuild state that no derived API stores: mark prices as applied, account state at a block, or the exact effect of an action. State replay is possible from 14 April 2026, the first checkpoint. Earlier replica_cmds give you the actions, not the state. See archive research and validation for what each prefix can and cannot answer.
You need the order lifecycle. node_order_statuses_by_block records every order status change the node writes, from 22 January 2026. With node_raw_book_diffs_by_block you can follow an order from placement to fill or cancel, block by block. A queue-position or market-making simulation needs this level.
You audit or reconcile. Raw files keep the node's own record shape and block position. If you need to show where a number came from, you can point to the node's own record. The data catalog shows the observed fields for every prefix.
You want bulk history without per-call metering. After purchase you get a read-only S3 key for the prefixes and dates you bought, and you copy the files into your own storage. There is no credit counting on downloads. The coverage table lists the compressed size and file count for each prefix, so you can size the transfer first.
You need infrastructure as well as data. Dwellir runs Hyperliquid JSON-RPC, the Info endpoint, HyperEVM, gRPC streams, the Order Book WebSocket and dedicated clusters in one account. 0xArchive does not offer RPC.
You need peer redundancy. Three peers with a 99.9% monthly SLA give your node somewhere to go when one peer restarts. That is what the extra $300 a month pays for. The peering guide explains how it is set up.
Using both
The two products do not exclude each other. One split that works: query 0xArchive for funding, open interest and quick book lookups during research, and buy the Dwellir raw archive for the windows where you need the exact node record. Or stream live from Dwellir and backtest on 0xArchive's longer trade history.
Notes on 0xArchive's comparison page
0xArchive's page was published on 25 October 2026 and labels its Dwellir facts as of 3 November 2026. We checked each Dwellir claim against our live pages on 11 November 2026. The prices, dates and add-on details it states are correct. A few points are missing or need context:
- Candle exports are self-serve. The page notes the S3 archive is priced by email. Candle exports are separate and self-serve: full-history OHLCV in CSV or Parquet is bought on the dashboard with export credits.
- Funding is in the archive, as records. The page says no funding history is listed among our prefixes. No prefix is named for funding, but
misc_events_by_block(from 29 June 2026) carries the settled funding records. It is still not a rate or open interest series, so the conclusion holds. - Two prefixes are left out. The raw files list omits
misc_events_by_block(from 29 June 2026) andnode_twap_statuses_by_block(from 1 July 2026).
How to try each
- For 0xArchive, create a free key on 0xarchive.io and query the last 30 days.
- For Dwellir, create a free account to try the Info endpoint, the Hyperliquid Index fills and candle APIs. For the S3 archive, email support@dwellir.com with the prefix, date range and format, and ask for a sample file. The historical data docs list every prefix, its start date and its size.
For a wider view, Hyperliquid backtesting data: 20 sources compared covers the other vendors, and 0xArchive alternatives groups them by job.
