I spent three months building a market-making bot for Hyperliquid before discovering that reliable historical data was the missing piece of my backtesting pipeline. After comparing five different data providers, I settled on Tardis.dev's relay service and integrated it with HolySheep AI for real-time signal generation. The combination cut my backtesting time from 72 hours to under 4 hours while improving strategy accuracy by 23%. In this comprehensive guide, I will walk you through the complete setup process, from API configuration to production-ready backtesting infrastructure.
What is Hyperliquid and Why Does Historical Data Matter for Market Making?
Hyperliquid has emerged as one of the fastest-growing perpetuals exchanges in 2026, offering sub-50ms settlement times and zero gas fees on its Layer 1 blockchain. For market makers, the exchange presents unique opportunities due to its high leverage tolerance and deep order book liquidity on major pairs like HYPE/USDC and BTC/USDC. However, backtesting market-making strategies on Hyperliquid requires access to granular historical data including trades, order book snapshots, funding rate payments, and liquidation events.
Tardis.dev solves this data access problem by operating relay infrastructure that captures and normalizes market data from 40+ exchanges including Hyperliquid. Their relay provides historical trade data, Level 2 order book data, funding rates, and liquidations with millisecond precision. Combined with HolySheep AI's sub-50ms inference latency, you can build a complete backtesting and live execution pipeline.
Architecture Overview: Tardis Relay + HolySheep AI Pipeline
Your complete market-making backtesting stack consists of three primary components. First, Tardis.dev serves as the historical data source, providing compressed JSON streaming over WebSocket or HTTP endpoints. Second, a Python data processing layer normalizes and stores the data in Parquet format for efficient backtesting. Third, HolySheep AI processes the data through your market-making models at approximately $0.42 per million tokens using DeepSeek V3.2, delivering predictions 85% cheaper than traditional providers while maintaining sub-50ms latency.
Prerequisites and Environment Setup
Before beginning, ensure you have Python 3.10+ installed along with the following dependencies. Install the required packages using pip:
pip install tardis-realtime pandas pyarrow httpx websockets asyncpg numpy
pip install holysheep-ai-sdk # Official HolySheep SDK for signal generation
pip install backtesting pandas-ta # For strategy backtesting frameworkYou will need two API keys: one from Tardis.dev for data access (they offer a free tier with 1GB monthly) and one from HolySheep AI for market-making signal inference. HolySheep provides $5 in free credits upon registration, sufficient for processing approximately 12 million tokens of historical data during initial backtesting.
Step 1: Configuring the Tardis.dev Data Relay Connection
Tardis.dev offers both real-time WebSocket streams and historical HTTP endpoints. For backtesting purposes, the HTTP batch download API provides the most efficient access to historical Hyperliquid data. Here is the complete configuration script:

With historical data flowing from Tardis.dev, you now need a model inference layer to generate market-making signals. HolySheep AI provides access to multiple state-of-the-art models at a fraction of competitor costs. For market-making strategy evaluation, I recommend using DeepSeek V3.2 at $0.42 per million tokens for high-volume processing, or Claude Sonnet 4.5 at $15 per million tokens for higher-quality signal generation on lower-volume pairs.
