Where to trade Elysium tokens
Elysium is new, and the first thing worth saying is that it is not our chain. We are a trading terminal that now covers it, in the same interface we use for the other chains we support. This page is about what that means in practice: what Elysium actually is, what you need before you can trade on it, what you are setting when you set fees, and what it costs you in time to get your funds back out.
What Elysium is, and whose chain it is
Elysium is built and run by Kinetiq, not by us. Their own documentation describes it as a general-purpose, high-performance Layer 2 for Hyperliquid that settles to HyperEVM and uses HYPE as its gas token — see Kinetiq's Elysium documentation for their description, the parameters, and what they say is still to come.
Two details from that documentation matter for anything you do here. It is an Arbitrum Orbit chain, which is why withdrawals behave the way they do further down this page. And HYPE is the native gas token, bridged one-for-one from HyperEVM, so there is no separate chain token to acquire before you can transact.
We can confirm one thing independently rather than repeating it: Elysium's public RPC answers eth_chainId with 99901, which is the mainnet chain ID Kinetiq's documentation lists, and the same ID our own chain definition uses. Our explorer links for Elysium point at Kinetiq's explorer, because it is their chain and their explorer.
You need an Axiom account
Worth stating before anything else: trading Elysium here requires signing in. Our app sends a signed-out visitor to the landing page rather than into the terminal, so there is no browsing an Elysium token page, placing an order, or holding a position without an account. If you came here from a search result expecting to trade immediately, the account comes first.
Getting HYPE onto Elysium
Because HYPE pays for gas, HYPE is what the wallet needs. We support two routes in.
The first is Elysium's canonical bridge from HyperEVM. HyperEVM appears as a "Deposit from" source in our deposit view. For a deposit sent that way, our confirmation reads "Deposit sent. It lands on Elysium within about 20 seconds." If the page stops tracking it before it arrives, we say so plainly rather than implying it is lost — the notice reads "Not on Elysium yet. It still lands: Elysium credits every deposit from HyperEVM."
The second is from other chains. Elysium HYPE is a destination in Convert, and the deposit view carries an "Other networks" row, so funds can come from the chains Convert reaches rather than only from HyperEVM.
If the selected HyperEVM wallet is short for a deposit amount, the deposit view blocks the send and the notice reads "Insufficient HYPE balance".
One terminal for Elysium, beside our other chains
Elysium is not a separate product for us. It sits in the same terminal as the other chains we cover, with the same Pulse feed, Discover board, token pages and saved settings.
New Elysium pairs arrive in Pulse, split across the same three stages we use elsewhere: New Pairs, Final Stretch and Migrated. Elysium also has its own board on Discover, with its own chip, filter pane and preset slot. On a token's page, the chart sits beside the trade form, and the pool panel names the figures you would otherwise go looking for: Pool, Quote, Swap fee and Total liquidity.
What you set when you trade here
Elysium's fee model is a gas price, not Solana's priority fee and bribe. In our Trading Settings you set Gas, priced in GWEI, with a Max Auto Gas ceiling and a minimum we show you. There is an Auto option, and our own tooltip for it says it "automatically adjusts gas based on network conditions"; Custom is the alternative, and we display a Min Gas figure so a custom value that the chain will refuse is visible before you send.
Slippage is the execution-price range you are willing to accept. A Max Tax control is here too, for tokens that carry a transfer tax. Settings are saved per side, as Buy settings and Sell settings, so you are not retyping them per order.
One Elysium-specific choice: you can size and settle a trade in HYPE or in USDC. Choosing USDC brings its own surfaces with it — a USDC balance, a Get USDC action, and an Auto Top-Up with a Threshold and a Top Up Amount. Gas is still paid in HYPE whichever you pick, which is why the top-up has a minimum HYPE figure attached.
Market, Limit and the Adv. forms
Elysium is not market-only. Every session gets the Market and Limit forms, the Adv. forms for advanced trading strategies, an Orders table, limit-order shortcuts and a quick-limit panel on the chart, and the strategies a market buy can place after it fills. We also run price alerts for Elysium tokens.
Curves, graduation, and what we do not do
New Elysium tokens can start on a launchpad curve. Pairs on the Obol, Elevate, Nectar, Windup and Torus curves are tradable with us before they graduate. After graduation, a token trades on the pool it graduates into when a route is available — graduation can change or remove the route we can use. Pools from Olympad and Quoted are tradable as well.
The precise limit: those tokens are tradable and filterable with us. Creating a token on Elysium is not something we do, and we are not claiming it — where a token has a launchpad page of its own, we link out to the launchpad rather than running the launch ourselves.
Getting HYPE back out
This is the part most worth reading before you fund an account, because it is a property of the chain rather than of us, and it is measured in days.
Elysium is an optimistic rollup, so the canonical exit to HyperEVM is not immediate. Kinetiq's documentation gives a challenge period of about 5.5 days; the confirm period our bridge uses is 483,840 HyperEVM blocks. Both depend on Kinetiq and can change. We list the exits waiting with the date each becomes claimable.
There is another route. A withdrawal can leave through Relay instead, quoted with Elysium as the origin: to HYPE on HyperEVM, or to the other destinations Relay lists. Elysium HYPE is also a Convert source, so converting out does not have to mean waiting for the canonical exit. The canonical exit stays available beside it.
The tradeoffs
Worth being plain about, because a chain this new carries things a settled one does not.
- It is a new chain, run by someone else. Elysium is Kinetiq's, and its behaviour is theirs to change. Kinetiq's own documentation lists a single sequencer at launch, a single data availability server with a committee still pending, and audits and permissionless proving among the hardening still to come. Read their documentation rather than taking our summary as the current state.
- The canonical exit takes days. Funds you may need quickly should account for that, or leave through Relay instead.
- Gas is not an outcome. A higher gas price does not guarantee that a transaction lands, how fast it lands, or the price you get. Fees can be spent on an attempt that does not get you the fill you wanted.
- Settling in USDC does not remove HYPE. Gas is paid in HYPE regardless, so an account holding only USDC cannot transact.
- A curve is not a guarantee of a route. Graduation changes where a token trades, and can remove a route we previously had.
- New tokens are high risk wherever they launch, and a new token can lose most or all of its value quickly.
