SwapKit now supports both sides of Hyperliquid: HyperEVM, the network’s Ethereum-compatible smart contract layer, and HyperCore, its native on-chain order book — the venue behind Hyperliquid’s perpetuals, builder-deployed markets, and its new prediction markets. Cross-chain swaps into both are live now, routed through Flashnet, Mayan, and — for HyperCore — NEAR Intents. Swapping back out is live through Flashnet and Mayan.
Support is already active in SDK v4, the unified API, and the SwapKit Widget. HyperEVM behaves like any other EVM chain in your integration. HyperCore needs one additional step on the sell side, which we cover below.
Integration details for HyperCore are documented here: HyperCore signing & broadcasting.
One Blockchain, Two Execution Environments
Hyperliquid is a purpose-built Layer-1 that runs an exchange natively on the chain itself rather than as a contract deployed on someone else’s network. A single consensus layer, HyperBFT, orders blocks for two distinct execution environments.
→ HyperCore: The Native Trading Engine
HyperCore runs a fully on-chain central limit order book covering spot and perpetuals, along with margin and liquidation logic. It is not EVM-compatible and has no smart contracts — interaction happens through Hyperliquid’s native actions and API. This is where Hyperliquid’s liquidity actually lives.
→ Prediction Markets, Natively on HyperCore
HIP-4 added outcome contracts to HyperCore in May 2026: fully collateralized binary instruments that settle to 0 or 1 depending on whether a real-world event occurs, with the price representing the market’s implied probability. They are the primitive behind prediction markets, and they run on the same matching engine, the same order book infrastructure, and the same unified margin account as spot and perps — no leverage, no liquidations, and no fee to open a position.
That composability is the part standalone prediction market platforms can’t replicate: the same collateral backs an outcome position, a perpetual, and a spot balance, so a directional event bet can be hedged against the underlying from a single account. Alongside HIP-3 builder-deployed markets — equities, commodities, and indices listed by external teams — HyperCore has become considerably more than a crypto perps venue.
→ HyperEVM: The Smart Contract Layer
HyperEVM is a full Ethereum Virtual Machine environment secured by the same consensus. Developers deploy with standard tooling — Solidity, Foundry, Hardhat, Remix — against chain ID 999, with HYPE as the gas token. It uses the Cancun feature set without blobs, including EIP-1559 fee mechanics, so existing EVM applications port over with minimal changes.
→ Shared State, No Internal Bridge
Because HyperEVM is not a separate chain, contracts can read HyperCore state directly through precompiles — order book prices, balances, positions — without an external oracle, and send actions back to the order book through the CoreWriter contract. Moving assets between the two layers is a system-level operation on one unified state, not a bridge transfer.
→ Dual-Block Architecture
HyperEVM produces two interleaved block types: small blocks at a fast cadence for latency-sensitive transactions, and larger blocks at a slower cadence for heavier workloads such as complex contract deployments. This decouples block speed from block size instead of forcing a trade-off between them.
Cross-Chain Swaps Into HyperEVM & HyperCore Are Now Live
In SwapKit, HyperEVM and HyperCore are addressed as two separate chains — HYPEREVM and HYPE — and they are not interchangeable. An asset on one is not the same asset on the other, even where the ticker matches.
→ Supported Assets
HyperEVM:
- HYPE
- USDC
- USDe
- USDT0
HyperCore:
- USDC
→ Multiple Providers From Day One
Routing is not dependent on a single protocol:
- Flashnet — HyperEVM (HYPE, USDC, USDT0, USDe) and HyperCore (USDC) — both directions
- Mayan — HyperEVM (HYPE, USDC) and HyperCore (USDC) — both directions
- NEAR Intents — HyperCore (USDC) — into HyperCore
SwapKit’s routing engine compares available providers on pricing, execution time, fees, availability, and reliability, then selects the best route. If one provider is congested, undergoing maintenance, or pricing poorly, quotes continue to come from the others.
→ Where Users Can Swap From
Swap into HyperEVM and HyperCore assets from across SwapKit’s supported networks, including:
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Ethereum (ETH)
- Solana (SOL)
- EVM L1s and L2s
- Other supported chains
The reverse direction is supported as well — through Flashnet and Mayan, users can move value back out of Hyperliquid to any supported chain in a single flow.
What Integrators Need to Know
→ HyperEVM: Nothing New Required
HyperEVM is a standard EVM chain from an integration standpoint. Quoting, approvals, signing, and broadcasting follow the same flow your integration already uses for Ethereum, Base, or Arbitrum. Existing SwapKit partners get HyperEVM routes automatically, with no new code.
→ HyperCore: Buying In Is Normal, Selling Out Is Not
Depositing into HyperCore requires no special handling. It is an ordinary transaction on the sell chain with the HyperCore account as the destination.
Selling from HyperCore is different. HyperCore has no plain transfer primitive — value moves by signing a Hyperliquid action — so a deposit address on its own is not actionable. For this direction, served by Flashnet and Mayan routes, /v3/swap returns EIP-712 typed data instead of a transaction to broadcast. The wallet signs it with eth_signTypedData_v4 and submits the accompanying action to Hyperliquid directly.
The full payload structure, signing rules, tracking behaviour, and common pitfalls are documented in the HyperCore signing & broadcasting guide.
→ What SwapKit Handles
- Cross-chain quoting across all available providers
- Route selection and optimization
- Gas and fee estimation, including Hyperliquid-specific fees
- Payload construction for both standard and typed-data flows
- Settlement and status tracking
- Unified error handling across providers
Why Hyperliquid Support Matters for Wallets & dApps
→ One Swap Into Prediction Market Collateral
HIP-4 outcome contracts are collateralized in USDC on HyperCore. Because SwapKit routes USDC into HyperCore directly, a user holding BTC, ETH, SOL, or assets on any supported chain can go from that position to funded prediction market collateral in a single swap — no bridge, no separate venue, no account elsewhere. The same balance also funds perpetuals, spot, and HIP-3 builder-deployed markets, since Hyperliquid shares collateral across all of them.
For wallets and dApps, that turns “trade prediction markets” from a redirect to another platform into a flow that finishes inside your own interface.
→ Access to a Major Onchain Liquidity Venue
Hyperliquid is the leading decentralized perpetuals venue by volume, and HyperEVM has grown into a substantial DeFi ecosystem around it — lending markets, liquid staking, stablecoins, and vault strategies that settle against the same order book. Routing directly into that ecosystem removes the reason for users to leave your interface.
→ Both Layers, One Integration
Trading liquidity sits on HyperCore; applications sit on HyperEVM. Supporting only one leaves users mid-journey. SwapKit exposes both through the same unified interface.
→ Multi-Provider Redundancy
Two independent providers on HyperEVM and three on HyperCore — two of them covering the sell direction as well — means competitive pricing and a working route when any single protocol has an issue.
→ Lower Build Cost
No bridge flows to build, no per-provider routing logic to maintain, no manual monitoring of liquidity sources. As Hyperliquid support expands, new assets and routes surface through the same endpoints without breaking existing implementations.
What’s Next
We’ll keep expanding Hyperliquid coverage with:
- Additional HyperEVM and HyperCore assets
- More routing providers
- Deeper liquidity and improved pricing
- Expanded developer documentation
- Co-marketing opportunities
