How to Trade on Elysium Chain: A Guide to Wallets, Bridges, and Swaps

On November 9, 2026, Elysium, a Layer 2 network built by Kinetiq, is scheduled to open its mainnet. Pump.fun and fomo have already stated they will support trading there from day one. For Hyperliquid traders looking for how to trade on Elysium Chain, the preparation involves three things: a wallet, bridging HYPE, and swapping.

Key Takeaways

• Elysium mainnet is scheduled for November 9, 2026; before that, its apps are only running on testnet.
• Gas is paid with HYPE bridged 1:1 from HyperEVM, with no new gas token.
• Pump.fun and fomo support trading from day one, while the connection to the Hyperliquid order book follows about four weeks later.

What Is Elysium Chain and Why It Is Attractive to Traders

Elysium is built by Kinetiq, the largest liquid staking protocol on Hyperliquid. The network is based on Arbitrum Orbit, settles transactions on HyperEVM, and uses HYPE as gas. According to Chainstack, it targets throughput of 300 Mgas/s with block times of 100 to 200 milliseconds, about two orders of magnitude above HyperEVM.

The team stated the network is not live before November 9, according to Coinranking. Apps such as DEX, perpetuals, and launchpad are only running on testnet. 

Its flagship feature, a hook to HyperCore that allows smart contracts to read market data and route orders, only arrives about a month after mainnet, as reported by Bankless.

To prepare capital and monitor the crypto market from Indonesia, register an account on Bittime.

Wallet Preparation and Bridging to Elysium

1. Prepare an EVM wallet that supports custom networks, such as MetaMask, Rabby, or OKX Wallet. It is best to use a wallet separate from your main wallet.
2. Fund HYPE on HyperEVM. This token is used to pay gas on Elysium.
3. Bridge HYPE from HyperEVM to Elysium. The process is 1:1 and withdrawals are also 1:1 without wrapped tokens, according to Chainstack. The official bridge route has not been published in the sources reviewed, so wait for the announcement and refer to Kinetiq's official documentation.
4. Add the Elysium network after the mainnet RPC and chain ID are announced. Chain ID 99801 belongs to testnet, not mainnet.

Do not confuse it with Vulcan Forged's Elysium, an older network with the PYR currency and chain ID 1339. Also leave enough HYPE so that swaps do not fail due to running out of gas.

How to Swap and Trade on Elysium Chain

Pump.fun stated that trading on its app begins November 9, and fomo announced the same schedule. Elysium calls fomo an exclusive trading partner without explaining the scope, as reported by Bankless. 

Pump.fun's announcement mentions only its app, not a move of its Solana launchpad, according to Cryptonews. Uniswap, KyberSwap, 0x-based apps, and Derive V3 for options are also preparing, according to Coinranking.

The flow is simple:

• Open an app or DEX that supports Elysium, then connect your wallet.
• Make sure the Elysium network is active and the HYPE balance is sufficient.
• Select a pair, check liquidity, set slippage, then swap.
• Match the token contract address with the project's official account.

New tokens in a network's early days tend to be volatile with thin liquidity. Avoid tokens whose contract addresses only circulate in comments or groups.

Trading Security Tips at Mainnet Launch

• Use a burner wallet and small amounts.
• Get links and contract addresses only from the official @Enter_Elysium and Kinetiq accounts.
• Review every approval request before approving it.
• Never share your seed phrase.
• Treat tokens circulating on testnet as worthless.
