# HyperEVM

The **HyperEVM** empowers developers to create any type of decentralized application while seamlessly interacting with **Hyperliquid’s native L1 components**.

This section serves as a **practical,** step-by-step guide for anyone looking to **build and deploy dApps** on **Hyperliquid**. From setting up an **EVM environment** to integrating **unique HyperCore functionalities**, you’ll find everything you need here to get started.

1. **EVM Basics**\
   Learn how to work with the standard EVM features and tools on Hyperliquid:
   * **RPC Nodes & Endpoints**: Discover the available RPC endpoints for interacting with the network.
   * **Block Explorers & Analysis Tools**: Track transactions, verify contracts, and analyze on-chain activity.
   * **Main Contract Addresses**: Access key deployed contracts.
   * **dApp Setup & Deployment**: Configure your app, integrate wallets (Wagmi, WalletConnect), and deploy contracts (Foundry, Hardhat).
2. **HyperEVM Specificities**
   * **Dual-Block Architecture**: Fast, frequent *Small Blocks* plus slower, high-throughput *Large Blocks*—all under one EVM chain.
   * **Native Transfers**: Move spot assets between the HyperCore and HyperEVM to leverage the best of both worlds.
   * **Interacting with the** HyperCore: Access Hyperliquid’s core functionality via Read/Write Precompiles.
   * **Additional Helpers**:
     * *Indexing the HyperEVM*: Retrieve raw HyperEVM block data without running your own node.
     * *Wrapped Hype*: An immutable contract modeled after wrapped ETH, enabling streamlined asset interactions.
