Bybit

Once a data agreement with Bybit is in place, we capture Bybit independently from two regions and merge the two streams by venue sequence number, as we do for every venue. Production capture starts at least 90 days before early access, so depth history covers three months or more on day one.

Venue type

Centralized exchange

Funding interval

8 hours; 4 hours on some contracts

Integrity

Venue sequence numbers, and book checksums where the feed includes them, verified at capture

Snapshots

A full-depth book snapshot at the top of every UTC hour (the 00:00 snapshot opens each daily file), plus the venue's own snapshots on reconnect, flagged with is_snapshot and snapshot_reason

Timestamps

Milliseconds in ts_exchange. ts_capture is int64 nanoseconds from a PTP-disciplined clock.

Regions

Two independent regions, assigned once the data agreement is in place

The native symbol BTCPERP is the USDC perpetual and maps to BTC-USDC-PERP. The full mapping is stored in instruments. The full rules are in symbology.

• Snapshots sent mid-stream are kept and marked is_snapshot = true with snapshot_reason = "venue" in book_l2.
• Inverse contract sizes are normalized to base-asset units; the native value can be recovered with contract_size from instruments.
• Liquidations land in liquidations on the same clock as trades.

Extended fields are computed on ts_capture and published on a 100 ms grid. A field is available on a venue when its source data is.

The same calls work on every venue; only venue and symbol change. Endpoints go live with Phase 1, and the v1 spec is a draft until then.
