HyperEVM-Specific Considerations
Latency Matters More
All Hyperliquid validators run in Tokyo. For high-frequency strategies:
- Use Tokyo-based RPC (see RPC Optimization Guide )
- Consider bot server location
- Test latency before committing
Dual-Layer Architecture
Hyperliquid has two layers:
- HyperCore: Native L1 order book, sub-second finality, gasless trading
- HyperEVM: Smart contract layer for tokens and DeFi
Some bots support both; others only HyperEVM. Choose based on your strategy.
Final Thoughts
The “best” bot depends entirely on your individual needs. Take time to evaluate your options, start small, and scale as you gain confidence and experience.
