What DeepSea's data shows
DeepSea's Smart Money leaderboard ranks profitable wallets by profit and loss (PnL) over a chosen period. LC Insight read the 7-day view across all chains at 6:36 a.m. ET on November 5, 2026. Most wallets carry DeepSea short labels, not names.
The top 10 made $98.42 million in seven days on $850.71 million of total assets, about 11.6% as a group. Every one is tagged Hyperliquid perp trader. Perps (perpetual futures) are bets on a price with no expiry date, often with borrowed money. The first wallet from another chain, a Robinhood Chain trader, appears at No. 42. Of the 100 names shown, 52 trade on Hyperliquid.

Why it matters
A leaderboard shows who won, not who will win next. Perp profits come with leverage, and the same leverage can wipe out a week of gains quickly. The list also only covers wallets DeepSea tracks and ranks winners, so losing traders do not appear.
LC Insight analysis
This section is our reading of the facts above, not a statement of fact.
- We think Hyperliquid's grip on the board says more about where large risk-taking happens now than about any one trader's skill.
- Percentage returns vary a lot. Smaller accounts like SMffa1 took far more risk, or made far better calls, than the $200 million wallets.
- A leaderboard built on one venue carries that venue's risk: if Hyperliquid perps turn, most of the top names turn with them.
What's next
- Whether the top 10 holds over the 30-day view
- Whether any non-Hyperliquid trader breaks into the top 40
