</Tip>

<Info>
  * Wire-equal to `POST api.hyperliquid.xyz/info` with `{"type": "perpDeployAuctionStatus"}`.
  * Describes the current perp-deploy (HIP-3) Dutch auction: the gas price decays over `durationSeconds` from `startGas`, and `currentGas` is the live price a deployer would pay now.
  * `currentGas` is `null` once the auction has ended; `endGas` is `null` while the auction is still active.
  * Gas prices are decimal strings. This is a global, non-user-keyed type.
</Info>

Returns the status of the current perp-deploy Dutch auction. To deploy a new HIP-3 perp DEX, a deployer pays the auction's gas price, which decays over time from `startGas`. `currentGas` is the live price; it becomes `null` after the auction ends, at which point `endGas` records the final price.

  "currentGas": "601.24549785",
  "endGas": null
}
```

### Field descriptions

<ResponseField name="durationSeconds" type="int">
  Auction duration, in seconds.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="startGas" type="string">
  Starting gas price, as a decimal string.
