HyperEVM is a high-performance, Ethereum-compatible execution layer developed by HyperLiquid that enables smart contracts to run natively alongside its decentralized trading engine, combining low-latency performance with full EVM compatibility.
The HyperEVM API allows interaction with the HyperEVM network through a set of JSON-RPC methods. Its design is familiar to developers who have worked with Ethereum's JSON-RPC APIs, making it intuitive and straightforward to use.
Let's use the viem package to create a HyperEVM client connected to Alchemy and fetch the latest block number!
npm install --save viemimport { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";
import { hyperliquid } from "viem/chains";
const client = createPublicClient({
chain: hyperliquid,
transport: http("https://hyperliquid-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/YOUR_ALCHEMY_API_KEY"),
});Now that you've created a client connected to Alchemy, you can continue with some basics:
const blockNumber = await client.getBlockNumber();
console.log("Current block number:", blockNumber);const balance = await client.getBalance({ address: "0xab5801a7d398351b8be11c439e05c5b3259aec9b" });
console.log("Balance (HYPE):", Number(balance) / 1e18);const block = await client.getBlock({
blockNumber: blockNumber, // from previous example
});
console.log(block);const tx = await client.getTransaction({ hash: "0xYOUR_TX_HASH" });
console.log(tx);const receipt = await client.getTransactionReceipt({
hash: "0xYOUR_TX_HASH"
});
console.log(receipt);For the full list of HyperEVM APIs, see the HyperEVM API Endpoints.
