Elysium

Kinetiq’s layer 2 for Hyperliquid, and Charon’s next stop. It shows as SOON in the network picker on the swap card.

Elysium settles on HyperEVM and uses HYPE for gas. Kinetiq has announced its public mainnet for November 9, 2026; dates can still move. Its native HyperCore features are planned for an upgrade about four weeks after mainnet.

When Charon turns Elysium on

All three have to be true. This list is updated only from Kinetiq’s official channels.

• Not yet: Public mainnet live. Announced for November 9, 2026. Dates can still move.
• Not yet: Official RPC and explorer. Mainnet chain ID and endpoints are not published yet.
• Not yet: Withdrawals to HyperEVM confirmed. Nobody has confirmed a withdrawal back to HyperEVM yet.

Don’t bridge into Elysium for Charon before then. Until withdrawals back to HyperEVM are confirmed, funds you move there may be hard to bring back.

What changes when it is on

• Elysium DEXs and launchpad tokens, compared the same way as on HyperEVM.
• Elysium routes next to HyperEVM routes, so you can see where a pair is cheaper.
• After Elysium’s planned upgrade, routes that reach HyperCore.

Not to be confused with older, unrelated networks that also use the name Elysium. Charon is independent and not affiliated with Kinetiq.
