# perpDexStatus | Hyperliquid info

> The info endpoint with type: "perpDexStatus" retrieves the current status of a specific perp DEX on Hyperliquid, including total net deposits.

<Info>
  This method is available on Chainstack. Not all Hyperliquid methods are available on Chainstack, as the open-source node implementation does not support them yet — see [Hyperliquid methods](/docs/hyperliquid-methods) for the full availability breakdown.
</Info>

The `info` endpoint with `type: "perpDexStatus"` retrieves the current status of a specific perp DEX on Hyperliquid, including total net deposits.

## Parameters

### Request body

* `type` (string, required) — The request type. Must be `"perpDexStatus"`.
* `dex` (string, required) — Perp DEX name.

## Response

The response is an object containing:

* `totalNetDeposit` (string) — Total net deposits in the perp DEX.

## Example request

<CodeGroup>
  ```shell Shell theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"type": "perpDexStatus", "dex": "xyz"}' \
    https://hyperliquid-mainnet.core.chainstack.com/4f8d8f4040bdacd1577bff8058438274/info
  ```

  ```python Python (hyperliquid-python-sdk) theme={"system"}
  from hyperliquid.info import Info

  info = Info("YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT", skip_ws=True)

  # The SDK has no dedicated perpDexStatus helper, so post the request directly.
  result = info.post("/info", {"type": "perpDexStatus", "dex": "xyz"})
  print(result)
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript (@nktkas/hyperliquid) theme={"system"}
  import { HttpTransport, InfoClient } from "@nktkas/hyperliquid";

  const transport = new HttpTransport({ apiUrl: "YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT" });
  const info = new InfoClient({ transport });

  const result = await info.perpDexStatus({ dex: "xyz" });
  console.log(result);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  **Use your own endpoint in your code.** The code examples use a placeholder Chainstack endpoint (YOUR\_CHAINSTACK\_ENDPOINT) — replace it with your own Hyperliquid node endpoint from the [Chainstack console](https://console.chainstack.com/). The curl above uses a shared public endpoint for quick checks only; do not use it in production.
</Note>

## Example response

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "totalNetDeposit": "212751280.0536639988"
}
```

## Use case

The `info` endpoint with `type: "perpDexStatus"` is useful for:

* Monitoring the total value locked in a perp DEX
* Building analytics dashboards that track DEX growth
* Comparing deposit levels across different perp DEXes
