HyperEVM is Hyperliquid's EVM environment with HYPE as gas. Adding it to MetaMask is as simple as entering the official RPC, Chain ID 999. and symbol. Chainlist also lists the network for one‑click addition.
What are the exact MetaMask network settings?
Open MetaMask, add a custom network, and input: Network Name Hyperliquid, RPC URL https://rpc.hyperliquid.xyz/evm, Chain ID 999. Currency Symbol HYPE, and an optional block explorer such as hyperevmscan.io. These values come from Hyperliquid's docs.
Can you use Chainlist instead?
Yes. Chainlist lists HyperEVM mainnet (Chain ID 999) and testnet (998). You can connect your wallet and add the network directly from there if you prefer one‑click setup.
How do you fund gas on HyperEVM?
Buy HYPE on Hyperliquid, then transfer HYPE from HyperCore to the EVM using the in‑app EVM/Core transfer. Only HYPE should be sent to the special transfer address; other assets may be lost.
Any MetaMask tips for reliability?
Use the official RPC first; third‑party RPCs exist but may have different limits. MetaMask's help center shows how to add and edit custom RPCs if you need backups.
Conclusion
Adding HyperEVM to MetaMask takes under a minute: plug in the official RPC, Chain ID 999. and HYPE as the symbol, or use Chainlist for one‑click setup. Fund a small amount of HYPE for gas, then you're ready to explore HyperEVM dapps.
