Description

I have a JSON interface in my project for a precompile that is present on a network I am trying to work with (ape-hyperliquid). I am loading the proper address for that custom pre-compile and trying to call it using the interface, however Ape tries to fetch the contract type from an explorer, which does not exist.

I am thinking this is related to it being a precompile, which is an address that has no code but still supports making calls. An example from the docs:

https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/for-developers/hyperevm/interacting-with-hypercore

cast call 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000807 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003 --rpc-url https://rpc.hyperliquid-testnet.xyz/evm
