Question 1

What is the best Hyperliquid RPC provider?

Accepted Answer

Quicknode is a leading Hyperliquid RPC provider, serving both HyperCore and HyperEVM from a single endpoint: the Info API for market data and positions, gRPC and WebSocket streaming for real-time trades and order books, JSON-RPC for historical blocks, and full HyperEVM archive access via /nanoreth. The same account adds SQL Explorer, Streams, Webhooks, and the free open-source Hyperliquid API for trading, all backed by a 99.99% uptime SLA on a platform that handles 400B+ requests a month.

Question 2

What is Hyperliquid?

Accepted Answer

Hyperliquid is a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain built around a fully onchain order book. It runs two layers: HyperCore, the exchange engine that handles trading at 200K orders per second, and HyperEVM, an EVM-compatible smart contract layer (chain ID 999). You access both through a Quicknode Hyperliquid RPC endpoint.

Question 3

How do I get a Hyperliquid RPC URL?

Accepted Answer

Create a Quicknode account, select Hyperliquid as the chain, and generate your endpoint. A single endpoint provides access to both HyperCore (exchange data via /info, /hypercore, gRPC, and WebSocket) and HyperEVM (smart contracts via /evm and /nanoreth). HyperCore access requires a Build plan or higher. A one-month free trial is available. The Hyperliquid API at hyperliquidapi.com is free to use without a Quicknode account.

Question 4

What is a Hyperliquid node and do I need to run one?

Accepted Answer

A Hyperliquid node syncs the chain and serves its data. Running your own non-validating node means provisioning hardware, keeping pace with releases, and sourcing reliable peers for blocks and mempool data. Most teams use a managed Hyperliquid RPC provider instead. Teams that do run their own node can use Quicknode's Hyperliquid Peering service for dedicated sentry peers.

Question 5

What Hyperliquid APIs and RPC methods does Quicknode support?

Accepted Answer

Quicknode supports the full Hyperliquid RPC API surface across both layers. HyperCore: the Info API (`/info`) for market data and positions, gRPC streaming, WebSocket, and JSON-RPC (`/hypercore`) for historical blocks. HyperEVM: the complete Ethereum JSON-RPC, with archive, debug, and trace via `/nanoreth`. Beyond RPC, the same account covers the Hyperliquid API for trading, SQL Explorer, Streams, and Webhooks.

Question 6

Does Quicknode support Hyperliquid archive data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On HyperEVM, `/nanoreth` provides full archive access with tracing and debugging, while `/evm` serves recent state. On HyperCore, JSON-RPC (`/hypercore`) supports historical block queries up to 200 blocks per request, and SQL Explorer holds 500B+ rows of indexed history covering trades, fills, funding rates, and liquidations.

Question 7

Is Hyperliquid EVM compatible?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HyperEVM is Hyperliquid's EVM-compatible layer: Solidity contracts and standard Ethereum tooling like Foundry, Hardhat, Ethers.js, and Viem work unchanged, using chain ID 999. HyperCore, the order book layer, is not EVM-based and is accessed through its own APIs. A Quicknode endpoint serves both from the same URL.

Question 8

Which Hyperliquid networks does Quicknode support?

Accepted Answer

Quicknode supports Hyperliquid mainnet (HyperEVM chain ID 999) and testnet (chain ID 998) over HTTPS and WSS, with archive access on both via `/nanoreth`. HyperCore and HyperEVM are served from the same endpoint, so you switch networks by swapping the URL.

Question 9

How fast and reliable is Quicknode's Hyperliquid RPC?

Accepted Answer

Quicknode serves Hyperliquid from globally distributed infrastructure that routes requests to the nearest region, with a 99.99% uptime SLA backed by credits and SOC 1, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 compliance, on a platform processing 400B+ API requests monthly. Public Hyperliquid RPCs work for prototyping, but production trading systems need guaranteed uptime and support.

Question 10

How much does Hyperliquid RPC cost, and is there a free tier?

Accepted Answer

HyperCore access (Info API, gRPC, WebSocket, and JSON-RPC) requires a Quicknode Build plan or higher. HyperCore usage is metered in API credits based on data volume across Streams, gRPC, and WebSocket methods. SQL Explorer is available in public beta on paid plans. Streams and Webhooks are available on paid plans. A one-month free trial is available. The Hyperliquid API at hyperliquidapi.com is free to use without a Quicknode account.

Question 11

What is Hyperliquid node peering, and how does sentry peering work?

Accepted Answer

Sentry peering gives a self-hosted Hyperliquid node fast, reliable peers for block and mempool propagation instead of relying on random public peers. Quicknode's Hyperliquid Peering service connects your non-validating node to 3 dedicated sentry peer IPs across multiple Tokyo datacenters, streaming blocks and the full mempool with no separate usage meter, backed by a 99.99% SLA and direct engineer support.

Question 12

What is the difference between HyperCore and HyperEVM?

Accepted Answer

HyperCore is Hyperliquid's onchain order book engine. It handles trade execution, market data, and exchange state at 200K orders per second with sub-second finality. Quicknode exposes HyperCore through the Info API (`/info`), gRPC streaming (port 10000), WebSocket (`/hypercore/ws`), and JSON-RPC (`/hypercore`).

HyperEVM is Hyperliquid's EVM-compatible smart contract layer. Developers deploy and interact with Solidity contracts using standard Ethereum tooling including Foundry, Hardhat, Ethers.js, and Viem. Quicknode exposes HyperEVM through two paths: `/evm` for standard JSON-RPC and `/nanoreth` for archive access with full tracing, debugging, and WebSocket support.
