Protocol-Level Ethereum Compatibility

Hydra provides a smooth user experience thanks to protocol-level compatibility with Ethereum. Continue to use your Ethereum wallet address on the Hydra chain with your existing private key. Your address, your keys, your assets -- everything works seamlessly.

This is not a bridge or a wrapper. Hydra is a fully EVM-compatible L1 blockchain, meaning every opcode, every precompile, and every standard that works on Ethereum works identically on Hydra. The only difference is that everything runs faster and costs less.

Deploy on Ethereum vs Hydra: Identical

See for yourself -- the deployment code is exactly the same. The only change is the network configuration pointing to Hydra's RPC endpoint.

// hardhat.config.js
module.exports = {
  networks: {
    ethereum: {
      url: "https://eth-mainnet...",
      chainId: 1,
      accounts: [PRIVATE_KEY]
    }
  }
};

// hardhat.config.js
module.exports = {
  networks: {
    hydra: {
      url: "https://rpc-mainnet.hydrachain.org",
      chainId: 4488,
      accounts: [PRIVATE_KEY]
    }
  }
};
