Elysium is Kinetiq's Layer 2 for traders and DeFi teams that need more EVM throughput beside Hyperliquid's order book. It is an Arbitrum Orbit chain that settles to HyperEVM, runs co-located with HyperCore, and uses HYPE as native gas, bridged 1:1 from HyperEVM with no wrapper token. Kinetiq's Elysium account announced mainnet for November 9, 2026, after a public testnet that opened on September 22. HyperEVM stays composable with HyperCore by keeping blocks small: 3 million gas per second, and 30 million gas only on 60-second blocks. That leaves little room for sustained high-frequency activity on the EVM. Elysium's published target is 100 millisecond blocks and 300 million gas per second, about 100 times the gas rate, on infrastructure operated with Conduit. The chain is general-purpose, with high-frequency trading and professional market-making AMMs as the main intended use, including quote updates 5 to 10 times a second. Launch ships standard ArbOS, AnyTrust data availability, and bridges so a token can start on an Elysium AMM, move to HyperEVM, and graduate to a HyperCore spot book, with a path to a HIP-3 perpetual. Direct HyperCore market-data reads and a fast order path from contracts are planned for an upgrade about four weeks after mainnet. Sequencer fees are set at 25 percent for applications on the chain, 25 percent for the Kinetiq treasury, and 50 percent for open market purchases of KNTQ, with purchased tokens burned via the Hyperliquid Assistance Fund. Kinetiq already runs kHYPE, the liquid staking token for HYPE, and this launch adds an execution venue for spot trading, market making, and token launches that still settle back to Hyperliquid.
