Buildix vs Velo
Velo is built for the cross-exchange derivatives picture: futures and options data across the large centralized venues, with deep history and a data API. Buildix is built for one venue, Hyperliquid, where every position is on chain: complete whale positions, their liquidation levels, wallet scores and orderflow signals scored in public. Many traders use both.
Where Velo is the better pick
- Cross-exchange derivatives: funding, open interest and liquidations across the large centralized venues in one place.
- Options and dated futures data, which Buildix does not cover.
- Long history for research and backtests, with a data API built for it.
Where Buildix goes further
- Complete Hyperliquid whale positions read from the chain, with the exact price where each one is liquidated.
- Trader Score: tracked wallets ranked with a skill vs luck test and the edge a follower keeps after the detection delay.
- Orderflow on Hyperliquid itself: CVD on every pair, VPIN, OBI and footprint on the 100 most liquid, and entry signals.
- Alerts on every Hyperliquid pair by Telegram, email or webhook, and an MCP server for AI assistants.
