What Elysium is

An EVM L2 built by Kinetiq that settles to HyperEVM and uses HYPE for gas, built for faster execution. 50% of sequencer revenue buys KNTQ. Native HyperCore read and write access for smart contracts is planned about four weeks after mainnet.

Getting on

OKX Wallet, Bitget Wallet and Zerion announced day-one support. Other EVM wallets work once you add the network manually (chain ID 99901), using only the RPC that Elysium publishes. The official bridge moves HYPE from HyperCore to HyperEVM and then 1:1 to Elysium; Mayan and Wormhole announced day-one availability and LI.FI announced support. Withdrawals through the official bridge wait out a challenge period.

What launches

Swaps on Aero, Matcha and KyberSwap, private market-maker pools on Metric, isolated lending on Elyra. Trading in the Pump.fun app, on fomo and on Kinetiq's Markets.xyz, plus GMGN, Click, Bloom, Dawn and Cove. Launchpads Ascend and Montra, OpenSea for NFTs. Announced without a date: Uniswap v4, Derive, Ramses, Nest, Maestro, Banana Gun and xStocks, plus a HyperLend deployment proposed to the Aave DAO.

Before you bridge

All of this is announced, not tested, so check an app is actually live before moving size. Tickers aren't unique (one trader counted 14 tokens on the MAX ticker alone), so take contract addresses only from official links. Early pools can be thin. A launch on Elysium doesn't create a HyperCore market: e/acc paid 500 HYPE (~$39K) for its HyperCore ticker alone. The chain starts with one sequencer and permissioned validation; permissionless fraud proofs come later.
