Hyperliquid Overview

Hyperliquid is a Layer 1 blockchain optimized for on-chain trading with speed and fees designed to approach centralized exchange performance. It is structured around two components:

• HyperCore: the on-chain order book engine that manages trade execution.

• HyperEVM: an EVM-compatible layer where developers can launch new asset classes, build trading strategy vaults, and manage digital assets.

Both layers operate under HyperBFT, a consensus variant based on HotStuff, and use the native token Hyperliquid (HYPE) for transaction fees.

Interacting with Hyperliquid’s APIs

Hyperliquid’s HyperEVM layer supports standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods. This means developers can use Ethereum’s native tools, such as Foundry, Hardhat, and popular Web3 libraries, without modification.

However, due to Hyperliquid’s architectural differences, some RPC methods may behave differently from those on Ethereum. The QuickNode Hyperliquid documentation is continuously evolving as the chain undergoes upgrades and changes, so we highly recommend cross-referencing with the official Hyperliquid documentation for the latest updates and RPC differences.

Make Hyperliquid API Calls

The quickest way to start building on Hyperliquid is to create a QuickNode endpoint and send your first JSON-RPC request.

QuickNode provides managed Hyperliquid endpoints, giving you immediate access to the Hyperliquid Mainnet without the overhead of running infrastructure. These endpoints offer:

• High reliability – globally distributed infrastructure designed to minimize downtime
• Enhanced performance – optimized latency and request handling for production-grade apps
• Integrated ecosystem – additional functionality through specialized APIs (add-ons) on the QuickNode Marketplace and products like Streams

Visit the QuickStart page to create your endpoint and send your first request.
