When a trader borrows money to make a bigger bet and the market moves against them, the exchange force-closes their position. That's a liquidation. This site turns every one of those into something you can watch: each liquidation falls from the sky as a meteor over a city. Each wave of buying that pushes back launches as a missile to defend it. Calm markets look peaceful. A crash looks like the end of the world.
A meteor = a long getting blown out. Someone bet the price would go up, was wrong, and the exchange is dumping their position by selling it. That selling is downward pressure, so it falls on the city. Bigger meteor = bigger dollar amount. The color tells you the coin (Bitcoin orange, Ethereum blue, Solana mint, and so on).
A missile = buying pressure pushing back. Either a short getting squeezed (someone bet the price would fall, was wrong, and the exchange has to buy to close them out) or a wave of regular buy orders. Missiles fly up and knock meteors out of the sky before they land. When buyers are winning, the city stands. When sellers are winning, meteors get through and chip the buildings apart — and the rubble piles up.
Press the 📡 Live button and the site opens a direct line to Binance, the biggest crypto exchange, using a WebSocket. A WebSocket is like leaving a phone line open: instead of asking "anything new?" over and over, Binance pushes each event to your browser the instant it happens — no refreshing, no delay.
It listens to two feeds at the same time:
1 · The liquidation feed. Binance broadcasts every forced liquidation on its futures market on a channel called forceOrder. Each message tells us the coin, the dollar size, the price, and the side. A long blown out (a forced sell) becomes a falling meteor; a short squeezed (a forced buy) becomes a defending missile.
2 · The trade feed. Binance also broadcasts every single trade on a channel called aggTrade. We watch for market buys — people aggressively buying in — and every time about $50,000 of buying stacks up, we launch a missile.
That's the whole trick. No login, no API key, no server in the middle, and it costs nothing — it's the same public data that powers real trading apps. Everything you see in Live mode is a real event that just happened on the exchange, usually within a fraction of a second.
The chips at the top choose what the site listens to. Tap BTC and it subscribes to just Bitcoin's feeds; tap several to watch a few at once. Tap ALL for everything at once. Switching is instant; nothing reloads.
The 🏦 Off-chain / ⛓ On-chain button switches where the data comes from.
Off-chain (Binance Futures) is the default — the biggest exchange, huge liquidation volume, the best spectacle. But it's a centralized exchange: liquidations happen inside Binance's own systems, so there's no transaction to look up and no wallet behind each event. It's anonymous by design.
On-chain (Hyperliquid) switches to a decentralized exchange that runs entirely on its own blockchain. Here, every event is a real on-chain transaction — so each entry in the Recent feed becomes a clickable link (look for the ↗) that opens the actual transaction on Hyperliquid's block explorer. You can verify every single one. The tradeoff: Hyperliquid's public feed streams live trade flow (aggressive sells rain down as meteors, aggressive buys launch as defending missiles) rather than liquidations specifically — a true global liquidations-only feed isn't exposed to browsers without running a backend indexer. So on-chain mode trades a bit of "pure liquidation" framing for full, verifiable transparency.
More chains (Solana, Polygon, Monad, Ethereum) are on the roadmap.
These happen on their own, driven by what the market is actually doing. When activity crosses $5M in a rolling minute, the sky goes red — Apocalypse — and a low rumble kicks in. When buying surges, the sky goes teal — Rally. When both happen at once you get Battle in the sky: a purple storm with meteors and missiles everywhere. The buildings keep whatever damage they take, then quietly rebuild once things calm down.
Top-right: total today, the last hour, the single biggest hit, how much was "defended" (caught by missiles), and the current sky condition. Bottom-left: a running dollar total per coin. Bottom-right: a live ticker of recent events — the ones a missile caught are marked with a ✦, and in on-chain mode each links to its real transaction (↗).
The site connects to Binance live the moment you open it — everything you see is real by default. If you ever turn Live off, the site falls back to a built-in simulation modeled on real DeFi lending and perp protocols (Aave, Compound, Morpho, Spark, GMX, Hyperliquid, dYdX, Drift) so there's always something happening. Useful for demos or testing offline. Toggle Live back on to return to real exchange data.
