Fact Check
The claim is supported by multiple independent news reports from March 27, 2026. Both CoinPost and BlockBeats provide detailed accounts of the announcement, confirming the 'full support' status and the specific feature of cross-chain swaps for HyperEVM tokens. The mention of manual network addition in the claim is consistent with how MetaMask typically rolls out support for new EVM-compatible chains before they are fully automated for all users.
Summary
MetaMask said in an official announcement on March 27 that it now fully supports Hyperliquid’s EVM-compatible layer, HyperEVM. The update allows users to add HyperEVM directly in the wallet as a default network instead of relying only on manual custom-network setup.
