Most-active Hyperliquid perpetuals right now, ranked by relative volume — current volume vs the asset's own 20-period average. Top-30 names where flow is concentrated, not just the perennial big-cap leaders.

The leaderboard ranks each top-100 HL perpetual by its relative-volume percentile — current 4h volume divided by its own trailing 20-bar mean. A 100th percentile reading means the asset is at its busiest in the recent window; a 50th percentile reading means “normal” activity.
Why relative volume beats absolute volume: BTC and ETH are always at the top of an absolute-volume list — that’s not new information. The interesting question is which assets are unusually active right now. A mid-cap perp at the 95th percentile of its own activity is signaling something is happening; that’s what this page surfaces.
The ROC column (rate-of-change percentile) is included as context — high rel-vol on negative ROC is different from high rel-vol on positive ROC. Sort by either column.
Use as a participation filter for momentum or breakout strategies, as a discovery feed for “what’s moving today,” or as input to a screen in the Hyperliquid Screener.

Relative volume is each asset's current volume compared to its own recent baseline (20-period moving average). A value of 200% means today's volume is 2x the recent norm. Ranking by relative volume — rather than raw volume — surfaces names where flow is *changing*, not just names that always have big absolute volume (BTC, ETH).
A top-by-volume list mostly shows BTC, ETH, SOL every day — that doesn't tell you anything new. Top-by-relative-volume shows where attention has shifted. A mid-cap perp jumping to 5x its average volume tells you something is happening right now; the market has decided that asset matters this hour.

4-hour bars on the top-100 HL universe. Relative volume = current 4h volume / mean of last 20 × 4h volumes. Switching to 1h or 1D would change the cohort and the magnitudes; the 4h default balances enough samples to be meaningful with enough freshness to track intraday flow shifts.
Relative volume is a participation filter — combine it with a directional signal (momentum, breakout) to filter out moves that have no flow behind them. The /lab/momentum and /lab/squeeze presets already incorporate rel-vol as a gate. Or open the Screener and build your own filter.
