MetaMask has announced that its wallet now offers full support for HyperEVM, the EVM execution environment on the Hyperliquid Layer 1 blockchain, enabling users to connect directly to the Hyperliquid ecosystem and perform token swaps on HyperEVM through MetaMask. According to coverage of the announcement, users still need to add HyperEVM as a custom network in MetaMask, after which they can interact with Hyperliquid’s DeFi and trading applications using the Hyperliquid-native gas token HYPE. HyperEVM is a general-purpose, EVM‑compatible environment built into the Hyperliquid Layer 1, inheriting security from Hyperliquid’s HyperBFT consensus and designed to support high‑performance financial applications. MetaMask support is provided via its DIN (Data Infrastructure Network) service, which routes JSON‑RPC calls to partner infrastructure providers for HyperEVM, including support for both standard Ethereum RPC methods and several HyperEVM‑specific methods. This integration lowers friction for developers and traders by allowing them to use an established wallet interface to access Hyperliquid’s on-chain ecosystem, including direct token swaps across HyperEVM, without relying on niche or custom wallet setups. The move is significant because Hyperliquid has positioned itself as a performance-focused Layer 1 with a flagship derivatives DEX, and MetaMask remains one of the most widely used non-custodial wallets in Web3. Native support improves accessibility for existing MetaMask users, makes it easier for dApps on HyperEVM to onboard new participants, and helps standardize infrastructure (RPC, gas handling, and chain configuration) for developers integrating Hyperliquid into their applications.
