Free HyperEVM RPC Endpoint
Chain ID 999 · HYPE · multiple configured routing regions
HyperEVM (Chain ID 999) is Hyperliquid's EVM execution layer for on-chain perps and DeFi primitives. NodeFlare operates HyperEVM RPC nodes for EVM contract reads, event logs and transaction submission.

Network details for MetaMask, Rabby, or any EVM wallet — HyperEVM chain ID 999 (0x3e7).
| Network name | HyperEVM |

A wallet polls its RPC continuously. The keyless URL above allows 1 request per 10 seconds per IP: enough to confirm the network details, too low for daily wallet use. For a wallet, enter your keyed URL https://rpc.nodeflare.app/hl/v1/{YOUR_KEY} instead. A free key allows 10 requests per second, and the dashboard adds HyperEVM to MetaMask with that URL in one click. Get a free key →
Built for HyperEVM
Perp DEXs, vaults, and DeFi primitives on Hyperliquid. Requests use configured regional preferences and available upstreams. Plan rate limits, compute units and method-specific concurrency limits apply.
HyperEVM node coverage and routing
NodeFlare-operated primary nodes in 2 configured routing regions. A public third-party RPC backstop is configured after our own nodes. Region labels describe routing configuration rather than a guarantee that every gateway has a local node. A standard API key uses shared infrastructure with its own plan limits; dedicated capacity is scoped separately. Historical state, tracing and WebSocket support vary by chain and node.
On successful HTTP RPC responses, nf-region: fallback identifies an external backstop and nf-region: cache identifies a cached response. See our routing disclosure and availability terms.
HyperEVM RPC — FAQ
What is HyperEVM's chain ID?
HyperEVM's chain ID is 999 (hex 0x3e7). Its native currency is HYPE and its block explorer is purrsec.com. You can connect with NodeFlare's free public RPC at https://rpc.nodeflare.app/hl/public — no API key required.
How do I add HyperEVM to MetaMask?
In MetaMask, open the network menu → "Add a network" → "Add a network manually", then enter — Network name: HyperEVM; Chain ID: 999; Currency symbol: HYPE; Block explorer URL: https://purrsec.com; New RPC URL: your keyed NodeFlare URL, https://rpc.nodeflare.app/hl/v1/{YOUR_KEY}. A free key allows 10 requests per second. The keyless URL https://rpc.nodeflare.app/hl/public answers a test call, but it allows 1 request per 10 seconds per IP, which is too low for a wallet that polls the network continuously.
What is the HyperEVM RPC URL?
NodeFlare's public HyperEVM RPC URL is https://rpc.nodeflare.app/hl/public over HTTPS and wss://rpc.nodeflare.app/hl/ws/public over WSS. No API key is required for the public endpoint.
Is the HyperEVM RPC free?
Yes. The public HyperEVM endpoint is free with no sign-up. A free API key provides higher rate limits and 3,000,000 compute units per month, no credit card. Heavy HTTP methods depend on node support and are subject to compute-unit and concurrency limits.
What are the HyperEVM RPC rate limits?
The public endpoint is limited to 1 request per 10 seconds per IP. A free key gives 10 requests/second; standard paid plans scale to 1500 req/s. Every plan includes all 17 supported chains.
Is NodeFlare a good HyperEVM RPC provider?
NodeFlare operates its own primary HyperEVM nodes. NodeFlare-operated primary nodes in 2 configured routing regions. A public third-party RPC backstop is configured after our own nodes. A free key provides 3,000,000 CU per month and higher limits. Method support and historical coverage depend on the node and requested block.
Is there a dedicated HyperEVM RPC node?
A standard key gives an authenticated endpoint on shared NodeFlare infrastructure, with plan-specific limits. Dedicated capacity is scoped separately by inquiry. NodeFlare-operated primary nodes in 2 configured routing regions. A public third-party RPC backstop is configured after our own nodes. Historical state and traces must be checked for your specific methods and block ranges; a key does not guarantee complete archive coverage.
