## Who opened positions — GET `/v1/hypercore/oi/opens`

The largest orders that opened longs or shorts on a perp in a window, with the account and whether it crossed the spread.

Layers: HyperCore. Not on Elysium or HyperEVM: the EVM layers trade on AMM pools, with no order book: pool detail and liquidity events cover a pool.
