HyperEVM Overview#

HyperEVM is Hyperliquid's EVM-compatible execution layer that allows:

  • Smart contract deployment and execution
  • ERC-20 token operations
  • DeFi protocol interactions
  • Bridge operations between L1 and EVM

Transaction Decoding#

The rawTx field contains an RLP-encoded Ethereum transaction. Decoding it reveals:

  • to: Destination contract or address
  • value: ETH/native token amount
  • data: Contract call data (function selector + parameters)
  • gasLimit, gasPrice: Gas parameters
from eth_account._utils.legacy_transactions import decode_transaction

def decode_evm_tx(raw_tx_hex):
    tx_bytes = bytes.fromhex(raw_tx_hex[2:])  # Remove 0x prefix
    decoded = decode_transaction(tx_bytes)
    return decoded

Use Cases#

DeFi Activity Monitoring#

Track smart contract interactions on HyperEVM:

def process_evmRawTx_action(action):
    raw_tx = action.get('rawTx')
    # Decode and analyze the transaction
    print(f"EVM transaction: {raw_tx[:50]}...")

Bridge Transaction Tracking#

Monitor cross-layer bridge operations between Hyperliquid L1 and HyperEVM.
