High Performance Hyperliquid RPC: Build Faster with OnFinality

Hyperliquid is rapidly becoming the go-to chain for real-time, low-latency on-chain trading. Its architecture combines a high-performance Layer 1 with native order-book execution and an EVM-compatible smart-contract layer (HyperEVM), giving builders the speed of a centralized exchange with the transparency and composability of Web3.

But to build production-grade apps on Hyperliquid, whether trading bots, analytics dashboards, DeFi protocols, or monitoring tools, you need reliable access to the network. That’s where a high-performance Hyperliquid RPC becomes essential.

OnFinality now provides fast, globally available Hyperliquid RPC endpoints designed for builders who need predictable performance, zero rate-limits, and infrastructure they can trust.

Why Hyperliquid Needs Better RPC Infrastructure

Hyperliquid’s architecture is built for one primary goal: lightning-fast, on-chain execution.This makes it ideal for:

• High-frequency trading bots
• Live dashboards and analytics
• On-chain market making
• Perpetuals and derivatives platforms
• Automation tools and indexers

But builders quickly run into the limits of the publicly available Hyperliquid RPC.

The issue: public RPC rate limits and shared load

Hyperliquid API provides a standard JSON-RPC endpoint for HyperEVM, but it comes with strict rate limits. As of mid-2025, the public Hyperliquid RPC is capped at ~100 requests/minute per IP - fine for experiments, but completely insufficient for:

• Trading bots that query state hundreds of times per second
• Multi-user dashboards
• Large-scale indexers
• Real-time alerting or monitoring tools
• Any app that needs to read logs, events, or state at high frequency

The moment you move past prototyping, public RPC becomes a bottleneck.

To build anything reliable, you need your own private Hyperliquid RPC endpoint.

What a Hyperliquid RPC Node Does

A Hyperliquid RPC node gives developers direct access to the HyperEVM execution layer via standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods, including:

• eth_call
• eth_getLogs
• eth_blockNumber
• eth_getTransactionReceipt
• eth_getBalance

This is the same RPC surface area developers already know from Ethereum — meaning Hyperliquid is immediately accessible through familiar tools like:

• Ethers.js
• Web3.js
• Hardhat
• Foundry
• Indexers
• Backend services

This is what people mean when they refer to Hyperliquid EVM RPC.

Note: Hyperliquid separates the trading engine from EVM execution.RPC gives access to the EVM layer, not the trade-matching layer - a crucial architectural distinction many guides fail to mention.

Public vs Private Hyperliquid RPC: What You Actually Need

When Public Hyperliquid RPC Is Enough

• Prototyping
• Small scripts
• Occasional state reads
• Basic test dashboards

When You Need Private Hyperliquid API

- Trading bots- High-frequency automation- Real-time indexers- Advanced dashboard platforms- Historical log queries- Infrastructure for production apps- Backfilling data at scale

If you need consistency, low latency, or higher throughput a private Hyperliquid API endpoint becomes essential.

Why Builders Choose OnFinality for Hyperliquid RPC

Other ecosystem blogs emphasise why a high-quality infrastructure provider matters — predictable performance, global reliability, and a frictionless developer experience. OnFinality delivers all of that for Hyperliquid.

2. Global performance

OnFinality’s distributed network ensures consistently low latency for international teams and trading applications.

3. Production-grade reliability

Trading systems and analytics dashboards cannot tolerate downtime.OnFinality’s uptime, monitoring, and auto-scaling infrastructure make Hyperliquid viable for enterprise-grade workloads.

4. Plug-and-play with your existing EVM stack

Because Hyperliquid uses standard EVM RPC, you can drop in an OnFinality endpoint immediately.

How to Connect to a Hyperliquid API Endpoint

Get your OnFinality Private Hyperliquid API Endpoint

Developers can connect to Monad using OnFinality’s Dashboard and public RPC endpoints

Step 1: Sign up to the OnFinality Portal

Step 2: Open API Apps - Network Marketplace and select Hyperliquid

Step 3: Copy the EVM endpoint

OnFinality Public Hyperliquid API Endpoints

Hyperliquid EVM RPC Endpoint - HTTPS: https://hyperliquid.api.onfinality.io/evm/public

Hyperliquid EVM RPC Endpoint - Web Sockets: wss://hyperliquid.api.onfinality.io/evm/public-ws

Make your First Request

Copy the CURL command into your terminal. You can replace the URL with your private Hyperliquid RPC endpoint obtained above.

curl -H 'content-type:application/json' -d '{"id": 1, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "eth_blockNumber"}' 'https://hyperliquid.api.onfinality.io/evm/public'

It’s identical to interacting with any Ethereum-compatible chain.

Use Cases: Where OnFinality's Hyperliquid RPC Shines

1. Trading Bots & Automation

The most obvious use case.Bots rely on fast, consistent, unlimited RPC throughput - exactly what other RPC endpoints cannot deliver.

2. Real-Time Dashboards

Live price feeds, open positions, account state, funding rates, indexed events - all require low-latency RPC.

3. Indexers & Analytics

Whether you’re indexing your own dApp or building full-chain analytics:Event logs + block scanning = huge query volumes.A private, scalable endpoint is mandatory.

4. DeFi Protocols

HyperEVM opens the door for lending, swaps, derivatives, and more.Every DeFi app needs dependable state reads.

5. Monitoring & Alerts

Alerting systems require high-frequency polling and consistent availability.

Why Developers are Choosing Hyperliquid + OnFinality Today

From the Chainstack announcement, Dwellir’s technical walkthrough, and OnFinality’s own RPC best practices, one narrative is consistent:

Hyperliquid is powerful, but only if you pair it with robust RPC infrastructure.

OnFinality gives builders:

• A fast, reliable Hyperliquid RPC
