# eth_syncing | Hyperliquid EVM

> Returns the synchronization status of the node. On Hyperliquid, this method always returns false as nodes are always considered synchronized.

<Info>
  This method is available on Chainstack. Not all Hyperliquid methods are available on Chainstack, as the open-source node implementation does not support them yet — see [Hyperliquid methods](/docs/hyperliquid-methods) for the full availability breakdown.
</Info>

Returns the synchronization status of the node. On Hyperliquid, this method always returns `false` as nodes are always considered synchronized.

## Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

## Returns

Returns the synchronization status. On Hyperliquid, this is always `false`, indicating the node is fully synchronized.

<Note>
  On Hyperliquid, this method always returns `false`. The network architecture ensures nodes are always synchronized, so there's no syncing state.
</Note>

## Example request

<CodeGroup>
  ```shell Shell theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_syncing","params":[],"id":1}' \
    https://hyperliquid-mainnet.core.chainstack.com/4f8d8f4040bdacd1577bff8058438274/evm
  ```

  ```python Python (web3.py) theme={"system"}
  from web3 import Web3

  w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider("YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT"))

  syncing = w3.eth.syncing
  print(syncing)
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript (ethers.js) theme={"system"}
  import { JsonRpcProvider } from "ethers";

  const provider = new JsonRpcProvider("YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT");

  const syncing = await provider.send("eth_syncing", []);
  console.log(syncing);
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript (viem) theme={"system"}
  import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";

  const client = createPublicClient({
    transport: http("YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT"),
  });

  const syncing = await client.request({ method: "eth_syncing" });
  console.log(syncing);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  **Use your own endpoint in your code.** The code examples use a placeholder Chainstack endpoint (YOUR\_CHAINSTACK\_ENDPOINT) — replace it with your own Hyperliquid node endpoint from the [Chainstack console](https://console.chainstack.com/). The curl above uses a shared public endpoint for quick checks only; do not use it in production.
</Note>

Example response:

```json theme={"system"}
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":false}
```

## Use cases

* **EVM compatibility** — Maintain compatibility with standard Ethereum JSON-RPC interface
* **Application initialization** — Check node readiness (always ready on Hyperliquid)
* **Health monitoring** — Verify node status in monitoring systems
* **Cross-chain compatibility** — Support applications that check sync status across different networks
