# HyperEVM

HyperEVM Path B is live — new launches seed directly onto a real HyperSwap v3 pool; legacy SherSwap bonding-curve markets remain tradable, native HYPE gas.

HyperEVM is the EVM execution layer of Hyperliquid. It uses native **HYPE** for gas and trading. **Path B went live on 2026-07-21**: new launches now seed **directly onto a real HyperSwap v3 pool** — tradable from block 0, the same direct-to-pool model as Robinhood Chain, Base, BNB Chain, and Ethereum. Markets that launched before Path B still trade on the older **SherSwap** bonding-curve stack.

{% hint style="success" %}
✅ **Path B is live (2026-07-21).** New HyperEVM launches use **HyperSwap v3** direct-to-pool, **not** SherSwap. SherSwap now serves **legacy markets only** — it is no longer used for new launches.

## How Path B works

A HyperEVM launch is now the same one-transaction flow as Novamp's other EVM chains:

* `NovampLaunchFactory` deploys a fixed-supply `NovampToken` — no mint function, no owner.
* The `V3Seeder` creates and seeds a real **HyperSwap v3** pool at the **1% fee tier** (`fee = 10000`), opened at an FDV-normalized price of ~~**84 HYPE (**~~**$5k)**, with an uncapped top tick.
* The `PositionVault` custodies the v3 liquidity position.
* An optional atomic **initial buy** (up to 10% of supply) can execute in the same transaction.
* The creator's chosen anti-snipe preset, creator-allocation lock, and liquidity lock/burn all apply — identical guardrails to RHC, Base, BNB Chain, and Ethereum.

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 HyperEVM's Path B launches are **v3-only, zero-fee tokens** — the fee-on-transfer (tax token) UI stays off on HyperEVM. Every new launch here is a clean v3 pool.

## Fees

|                |                                                                     |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Pool fee tier  | **1%** (HyperSwap `fee = 10000`)                                    |
| Novamp framing | Same **1%**, split **50% creator / 50% protocol**                   |
| Collected via  | `PositionVault` → `FeeRouter` → treasury                            |
| Treasury       | `0x476dB5C2bb716E6694BAA2732496db38Fc0aDaD0` (shared across chains) |

See [Fee Model](/protocol/fee-model.md) for how this compares chain by chain.

## Trading & Instant

* **/swap** and **⚡ Instant** buy/sell both **prefer a direct HyperSwap route** over 0x whenever it nets a better price; 0x is the secondary route.
* Sending and signing use the same **Privy**-powered path as every other EVM chain — nothing changes about wallet flow.
* Gas is paid in **HYPE**; tapping **MAX** leaves roughly **0.05 HYPE** aside as a gas buffer so the transaction can still land.
* HyperEVM pools are often thin right after launch, so Novamp defaults to a **higher slippage tolerance** here than on deeper-liquidity chains — check the quote before confirming.

## Charts

HyperEVM charts render through **DexScreener**. GMGN has no HyperEVM candle (kline) feed, so it isn't used as a fallback on this chain — if DexScreener hasn't indexed a brand-new pool yet, Novamp falls back to its native candlestick chart instead. See [Charts & Market Data](/portfolio-and-analytics/charts-and-data.md).

## Reservations

Name + ticker reservations are on-chain on HyperEVM, priced in **HYPE** via a Novamp push oracle, on the same flat USD tiers as every other chain. See [Reserving a Name & Ticker](/identity-protection/reserving-a-name-and-ticker.md).

## Legacy: SherSwap markets

{% hint style="warning" %}
⚠️ **SherSwap is legacy-only.** Markets that launched on HyperEVM before Path B (2026-07-21) still run on the older SherSwap bonding-curve stack (`0xAF27f9c6a57f58D8813Ba781d3Ca752039c668A8`) and remain fully tradable in the terminal. **New launches do not use SherSwap.**
{% endhint %}

If you hold or trade a pre-Path-B HyperEVM token, it behaves like any bonding-curve market — price moves along the curve, and the market graduates to a DEX if it fills. See [Bonding & Graduation](/protocol/bonding-and-graduation.md).

## How to use it

Connect an embedded or external EVM wallet, [switch to HyperEVM](/getting-started/switch-networks.md), and keep a little **HYPE** for gas. From there you can launch a direct-to-pool token on HyperSwap v3, trade any HyperEVM market — new or legacy — and reserve a name + ticker.

| Legacy markets | Pre-Path-B tokens stay on the **SherSwap** bonding curve; still tradable, but not how new tokens launch |

| Gas            | Native **HYPE** (18 decimals)                                                                           |

## What happens next?

Switch your wallet to chain **999**, keep some HYPE on hand for gas, and head to Discover to trade or the launch wizard to deploy straight onto HyperSwap v3.
