Returns the current state of all priority fee auction slots. HyperLiquid runs two types of priority auctions: write priority (order execution) and read priority (data access).
Priority fees launched on HyperLiquid mainnet in April 2026. Write priority applies to IOC orders on HIP-3 assets (max 8 bps). Read priority runs 5 auction slots on 3-minute cycles.
