Hyperliquid RPC Endpoint

Fast, flat-rate Hyperliquid RPC node provider — free tier, no KYC, HTTP & WebSocket.

HyperEVM is not a rollup — it runs natively inside Hyperliquid's own Layer 1, sharing state with HyperCore, the high-performance trading engine. Fees, staking and governance all use HYPE, and the network settles in well under a second.

About Hyperliquid

Hyperliquid began as an on-chain perpetuals exchange running its own HyperBFT-based Layer 1 (HyperCore). HyperEVM added Ethereum-compatible smart contracts to that same chain in February 2025, so EVM contracts and native HyperCore state can call each other directly instead of going through a bridge.

HYPE moves between the two execution environments by sending to a reserved address (0x2222222222222222222222222222222222222222), and the network is secured by a small active validator set with delegation. From an RPC point of view the surface is standard eth_*, with unusually short block intervals for a chain this active.
