The first is:According to reports, the Hyper Foundation has announced via Twitter that HyperEVM has officially launched. This marks an important step towards achieving general programmability in Hyperliquid's high-performance financial system, thereby accommodating all financial visions. The initial mainnet release of HyperEVM includes: HyperEVM blocks built as part of L1 execution, inheriting all the security from the HyperBFT consensus; instant transfers between native spot HYPE and HyperEVM HYPE, with HYPE being the native gas token on HyperEVM; and the deployment of the standard WHYPE system contract at 0x555...5 for DeFi applications. In future network upgrades, universal ERC20 native transfers and precompiles will be enabled. While these features have been implemented on the testnet, the mainnet release is being carried out in phases to minimize the impact on existing users on L1. HyperEVM can combine with L1 state without affecting the low-latency trading experience of existing users.
