Block Size Toggle in HypurrFi

HypurrFi offers a convenient toggle in the settings menu that allows users to choose between “Big blocks” and “Small blocks” for their transactions on Hyperliquid. This feature gives users and developers more control over how their transactions are processed, depending on their needs for speed or capacity.

​
What Are Big Blocks and Small Blocks?

Hyperliquid uses a dual-block architecture to optimize throughput and user experience. The total HyperEVM throughput is split between:
  • Small blocks: Produced at a fast rate (every 1 second) with a 2M gas limit. Ideal for users who want lower time to confirmation for smaller transactions.
  • Big blocks: Produced at a slower rate (every 1 minute) with a 30M gas limit. Suitable for builders and users who need to include larger transactions, such as complex contract deployments.
The dual-block system allows Hyperliquid to improve both speed and capacity without forcing a tradeoff between the two. For more technical details, see the official Hyperliquid documentation on dual-block architecture.

How to Use the Toggle in HypurrFi

  1. Open the HypurrFi app and navigate to the settings menu.
  2. Locate the “Set your preferred block size” section.
  3. Choose between Big blocks and Small blocks depending on your transaction needs.
  • Big blocks: Use this option if you are deploying large contracts or need higher gas limits.
  • Small blocks: Use this option for faster confirmation times on smaller transactions.
