Ankr is excited to announce the launch of HyperEVM RPCs on our Web3 API service. HyperEVM is a unique EVM execution layer embedded directly within Hyperliquid’s Layer 1, enabling smart contracts to run natively alongside Hyperliquid’s high-performance trading infrastructure.

With Ankr’s HyperEVM RPCs, developers can make request calls and receive responses identical to running their own HyperEVM node, without needing to manage infrastructure. This gives builders reliable, low-latency access to HyperEVM’s execution environment and shared onchain state.

What Is HyperEVM?

HyperEVM is not a standalone EVM chain or rollup. It is an EVM execution layer embedded directly into the Hyperliquid L1, designed to extend Hyperliquid beyond perpetuals trading into a broader onchain financial ecosystem.

Rather than operating as a separate network, HyperEVM runs natively within Hyperliquid’s architecture. This allows smart contracts to coexist with the core trading system while inheriting the same security model and performance characteristics as the underlying Layer 1.

Key characteristics of HyperEVM include:

EVM Inside a Trading-Native L1

HyperEVM is embedded directly within Hyperliquid’s Layer 1, where the EVM layer coexists with Hyperliquid’s core trading engine. This enables applications to execute smart contracts in the same environment as onchain trading infrastructure.

Shared State with the Trading Engine

One of HyperEVM’s most distinctive features is shared state with Hyperliquid’s core system. This opens the door for applications that integrate more closely with trading, liquidity, and market primitives than is possible on isolated EVM chains.

Secured by Hyperliquid Consensus

HyperEVM inherits security from Hyperliquid’s native consensus mechanism, HyperBFT, rather than relying on external settlement layers. This means EVM applications benefit directly from the same security and finality guarantees as Hyperliquid itself.

High-Performance EVM Execution

HyperEVM is positioned as a high-performance, low-latency EVM environment designed to support advanced financial applications. It combines developer-friendly EVM compatibility with the performance profile of a trading-native Layer 1.

Why the Combination of HyperEVM and Ankr Works

HyperEVM’s architecture demands infrastructure that can keep pace with a trading-native Layer 1. Applications built on shared state and low-latency execution require RPC access that remains reliable during periods of high activity.

Ankr’s RPC infrastructure is purpose-built for these conditions. By operating on its own global fiber network with bare-metal nodes and a custom, blockchain-native load balancer, Ankr avoids the latency and throughput constraints commonly seen with cloud-based providers.

This infrastructure allows Ankr RPCs to deliver consistent performance even under heavy request loads, making them well-suited for HyperEVM’s execution model and developer use cases.

Together, HyperEVM’s embedded EVM design and Ankr’s battle-tested infrastructure provide a strong foundation for building high-performance onchain finance applications.

What Are Ankr’s HyperEVM RPC Connections?

Ankr’s HyperEVM RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls) connect wallets, developer tools, and decentralized applications directly to the HyperEVM execution layer within Hyperliquid.

These RPC endpoints act as a communication layer between your application and HyperEVM nodes, enabling developers to:

  • Send and simulate transactions
  • Read contract state and onchain data
  • Fetch balances and ownership information
  • Power DeFi, trading, and financial applications

HyperEVM RPC endpoints allow developers to interact with the network without managing their own nodes or infrastructure.

Ankr provides a geo-distributed HyperEVM RPC setup, with nodes running globally to ensure low latency and reliable connections.

How Do HyperEVM RPCs Help Developers?

Building on HyperEVM offers unique opportunities, but it also requires dependable access to onchain data. Ankr’s RPCs help developers by:

  • Removing node infrastructure overhead

    Developers do not need to deploy or maintain their own HyperEVM nodes.

  • Providing reliable, low-latency access

    Applications can connect to a global cluster of high-performance nodes optimized for fast execution.

  • Supporting EVM-native tooling

    HyperEVM RPCs support standard EVM JSON-RPC methods, making them compatible with existing Ethereum tools and workflows.

  • Strengthening the Hyperliquid ecosystem

    By expanding RPC availability globally, Ankr helps support developer adoption and network resilience.

How to Make Your First Call to HyperEVM

You can start building on HyperEVM today by heading to Ankr’s RPC Service and accessing the HyperEVM endpoint.

HyperEVM RPCs support standard EVM JSON-RPC methods, allowing you to integrate quickly using familiar libraries and tooling.
