Elysium
All sections
Different assets, different roles
HYPE pays network transaction fees. kHYPE represents a stake in Kinetiq’s liquid staking product, while KNTQ connects to Kinetiq’s economics.
A liquid staking position
Kinetiq’s liquid staking token. Applications can use it in their products; gas transactions still require HYPE.
Kinetiq’s token
The announced Elysium model allocates half of sequencer fees to open-market KNTQ purchases, followed by burning the purchased tokens.
From a token launch to a HyperCore market
Elysium connects applications with Hyperliquid’s infrastructure. Launching a token, bridging it and creating a market each require a separate action.
Launch on Elysium
A team issues a token and creates a market in an Elysium application. Its launchpad sets the sale, fee and liquidity rules.
A representation on HyperEVM
The bridge locks the original token on Elysium and creates its representation on HyperEVM. Bridging back burns the representation and releases the original.
A HyperCore market
The project can separately establish a spot order book on HyperCore. A perpetual market has a separate deployment route through HIP-3.
Elysium projects and updates
Launchpads take different approaches to token distribution, from bonding curves to auctions. Swaps, funding markets, NFTs and games are also taking shape.

Testnet now, mainnet announced for November 9
Mainnet and direct contract access to HyperCore arrive in stages. Uniswap has already announced Elysium support.
Testnet is available
Explore applications and try transactions using test assets. Some projects require an invitation.
Announced mainnet launch
The initial release includes HYPE gas, smart contract execution and token bridges with HyperEVM.
HyperCore data and orders
An upgrade roughly four weeks after mainnet is planned to let Elysium contracts read HyperCore market data and submit trading operations.
Start with the test network
The official portal links to applications, the test HYPE faucet and the explorer. Elysium testnet uses chain ID 99801; mainnet parameters are published separately.
Open the testnet portal
Follow the Elysium Testnet link from the official website, get test HYPE from the faucet and choose an application from the ecosystem directory.
Choose Kinetiq Elysium
This network uses HYPE for gas. The Elysium network associated with Vulcan Forged uses LAVA and belongs to a different project.
Use the network bridge
The bridge connects Elysium with HyperEVM. Standard withdrawals pass through a challenge period, which determines when funds become available on the other side.
How fees connect applications and KNTQ
Kinetiq announced a sequencer fee split: one quarter for application builders, one quarter for the treasury and half for KNTQ buybacks. This model applies to the forthcoming mainnet.
