# TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE

Harmonix is infrastructure on Hyperliquid’s L1, using HyperBFT for consensus, HyperEVM for execution, and connected to HyperCore. Users benefit from earning native **HyperBFT Yield** (Perps, Lending, Borrowing, Staking, etc.) as well as tokens from the HyperEVM ecosystem as a reward for early contributions to the protocol.

1. **Hyper BFT:** Is the consensus layer where transactions are validated, keeping Hypercore and HyperEVM fast and synchronised.
2. **HyperCore:** Is the execution layer where the Hyperliquid protocol is built, so Perps, Staking, spot and HLP are here.
3. **HyperEVM:** Is the execution layer where **Harmonix is built**, also housing additional protocols like Felix, Hyperswap, Kentetiq and more.
