What is HyperEVM?
HyperEVM is a general-purpose Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chain implementation integrated directly into the Hyperliquid Layer 1 blockchain, allowing for smart contract programmability while leveraging the high-performance infrastructure. It combines the familiarity of EVM-compatible development with Hyperliquid’s HyperBFT consensus mechanism for security, sub-second transaction finality, and low fees, using HYPE as the native gas token.
Unlike standalone EVM chains, HyperEVM is not a separate network but is built as part of Hyperliquid’s execution layer, enabling seamless interaction between DeFi applications, perpetual trading (via HyperCore), and general-purpose smart contracts. HyperEVM was launched on mainnet on February 18, 2025, aiming to create a unified ecosystem for all finance by bringing EVM capabilities to Hyperliquid’s performant L1. The ecosystem includes DeFi protocols, DEXs, lending platforms, and more, with growing adoption and a low number of active addresses (around 50,000 active per week), presenting opportunities for early participants.
HyperEVM Airdrop Details
Hyperliquid has run two airdrop seasons for its HYPE token, so far rewarding on-chain activity on HyperCore (perpetuals trading), whereas activity on HyperEVM (DeFi interactions) has yet to be incentivized. As of October 2025, it’s speculated that a “hidden” Season 3 is ongoing for activity on both HyperCore and HyperEVM. Of the total HYPE supply, 38.8% is allocated for “future emissions and community rewards” and a significant portion of these tokens may be used for an airdrop to early users and/or power users of HyperEVM.
To secure a possible round 2 HYPE airdrop, potential qualifiers with regards to HyperEVM activity include: bridged volume, transaction volume, liquidity provision, time-weighted average balance, the number of active weeks, and the number of unique contract interactions. While there’s no guaranteed airdrop, consistent activity could led to rewards in the near future.
How to Position for a Possible HyperEVM Airdrop
Getting Funds on HyperEVM
To get assets on HyperEVM, go to Hyperliquid and deposit USDC. You can get USDC from Binance and withdraw to your wallet via Arbitrum. Alternatively, use Rhino.fi to bridge USDC to Arbitrum. Then go to Hyperliquid and click on “Deposit”.
Swap some USDC for $HYPE (get at least 0.5 HYPE to cover fees for bridging and interactions on HyperEVM). Swap the remaining USDC for USDT. Then click on “Transfer to EVM” for USDT and any tokens you want to bridge to HyperEVM. Alternatively, go to “Portfolio”, click on “EVM to Spot Transfer” and transfer spot tokens to HyperEVM.
Exploring HyperEVM Projects
Once you have funds on HyperEVM, try to interact with the projects from the following categories at least 1-2 per week.
Unit
- Unit is the most important project on HyperEVM enabling users to get exposure to tokens like BTC, ETH, SOL, FARTCOIN and others.
- Swap USDC for assets like BTC, ETH, SOL, etc. on Hyperliquid and then transfer these assets to HyperEVM.
- Bridged volume and time-weighted average balance of Unit assets are likely to be important qualifiers for any potential UNIT airdrop, as well as for any rewards related to HyperEVM usage.
DEXs
- Supply Unit assets to liquidity pools for DEXs on HyperEVM.
- The most important DEXs to interact with: Project X, HyperSwap, Ultrasolid, Hybra Finance, and Curve Finance.
- Perform token swaps regularly to boost your transaction volume.
- Supply liquidity and monitor to make sure your liquidity positions are in range.
- Utilize DEX aggregators like Gliquid for greater airdrop exposure.
Liquid Staking
- Stake HYPE with Kinetiq to receive kHYPE. Also, go to “Earn”, then deposit kHYPE to get vkHYPE to earn 5.6% APY and points exposure to Felix, HyperLend, Project X and Veda.
- Alternative option: stake HYPE with LoopedHYPE to get LHYPE. LoopedHYPE are top of the leaderboard for HyperLend and HypurrFi points.
- LHYPE holders can potentially earn up to 4 airdrops: from LoopedHYPE, HyperLend, HypurrFi and a potential HYPE airdrop for HyperEVM activity.
- Also, sign up for early access to LoopedBTC and LoopedHLP.
Money Markets (Borrowing & Lending)
- Supply and/or borrow assets – Use money markets like Felix, HyperLend and HypurrFi to increase transaction volume and number of unique contract interactions.
- Monitor your health ratio – Try to keep your health ratio > 2 when supplying and borrowing assets using money markets.
- Engage in “looping” – Supply assets, borrow assets and use the borrowed assets to add to your existing deposits. Repeat this process 2-3 times to execute a looping strategy, which increases your transaction volume and time-weighted average balance.
Yield
- Supply assets to HyperBeat to earn yield – Get exposure to points from various projects and improve your time-weighted average balance on HyperEVM.
- Supply HYPE to Ventuals – Position for a potential airdrop and engage with HIP-3 markets once Ventuals launches.
- Other options to earn yield on HyperEVM include Hyperwave and Harmonix.
- Use Pendle to get leveraged exposure to points by purchasing Yield Tokens
- Alternatively, supply liquidity to Pendle pools on HyperEVM to earn yield
Identity
- Purchase a domain name from Hyperliquid Names for an extra contract interaction and potential rewards.
- Purchase a dotHYPE domain name for points boosts for select HyperEVM protocols, plus another contract interaction on HyperEVM.
- Mint a Passport from FUNDAMENTAL.
NFTs
- Buy, bid or sell NFTs on marketplaces like OpenSea or LiquidLoot – Each purchase or sale will count towards transaction volume and contract interactions.
- Purchase or bid for a Hypurr NFT (if you have enough capital) – Holders enjoy benefits such as points boosts and airdrop allocations.
- Other NFTs to consider acquiring for potential airdrops – Hypio and Illumeownati by Catbal
DeFAI
- Deposit USDT to the Kops vault – supply USDT to the MaxYield vault to earn yield and get points exposure for multiple airdrops (Kops, HypurrFi, HyperLend and a possible round 2 HYPE airdrop for active users of HyperEVM).
Launchpads
- Launch your own tokens using LiquidSwap‘s LiquidLaunch feature. Launching your own token will count as an extra contract interaction, plus you can earn 50% of the trading fees once your token has bonded.
SocialFi
- Use HyperEVM mini-apps on Farcaster
Other Tips
- Consistent participation (recommended 1-2 times per week at minimum) and meaningful bridge/transaction volume are speculated to be key factors to qualify for a potential HYPE round 2 airdrop.
- Use HyperFlow to bridge for quick transactions and low fees. Also, perform swaps using HyperFlow for a 2-in-1 airdrop opportunity.
