Bitget Wallet announced Tuesday that it has completed integration with HyperEVM, the Ethereum-compatible smart-contract layer of the Hyperliquid Layer-1 blockchain.
This update allows users to conduct cross-chain transfers, interact with HyperEVM-based DeFi applications, and utilize the HYPE native token directly through the wallet's interface, according to its press release.
The wallet system is set to launch further features, including perpetual trading, contract support and additional DeFi tools, in the coming weeks.
"Our goal is to simplify access to one of crypto's fastest-growing ecosystems," said Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet. "By integrating HyperEVM end-to-end, we are enabling self-custody users to engage with a high-performance infrastructure covering trading, programmable finance and cross-chain flows."
Hyperliquid operates a high-performance decentralized exchange featuring onchain order books and liquidity comparable to those on centralized platforms. Its HyperCore engine supports spot and perpetual trading markets with low latency, while HyperEVM adds smart-contract functionality, allowing DeFi protocols to tap into the exchange's liquidity pool.
Since launching in 2023, Hyperliquid has processed over $1.5 trillion in total trading volume. The platform's total value locked currently stands at $4.85 billion, according to DefiLlama data.
Meanwhile, Bitget Wallet supports more than 130 blockchains and serves over 80 million users. It is backed by a user protection fund exceeding $700 million, according to the press release.
