Elysium Mainnet, Kinetiq's high-performance Layer 2 for the Hyperliquid ecosystem, is now supported on Quicknode. Developers can create Elysium Mainnet RPC endpoints today, test first with funds from the Quicknode faucet, and build with the same EVM tools they already use.

What is Elysium?

Elysium is a general-purpose DeFi EVM built to extend what teams can do on HyperEVM. It is an Arbitrum Orbit (Nitro / ArbOS) Layer 2 that settles to HyperEVM and uses HYPE as its native gas token, bridged 1:1 with no wrapper.

From day one, Elysium Mainnet targets 100 to 200 ms blocks and 300 Mgas/s of execution throughput.

Why it matters for builders

• Standard EVM. Solidity and Vyper contracts run unchanged, and Foundry, Hardhat, viem, ethers, and standard JSON-RPC work as they do on any Arbitrum chain.

• Connected to Hyperliquid. HyperEVM ERC-20s bridge in permissionlessly. Elysium-native tokens can reach HyperEVM through the mirror bridge, then HyperCore spot markets, with a path to perp listings via HIP-3.

• Builder revenue share. 25% of sequencer revenue is reserved for builders whose applications drive Elysium blockspace usage.

Kinetiq also plans a HyperCore read/write upgrade for Elysium, which will open up new options for trading, AMM, and data applications.

Build on Elysium Mainnet with Quicknode

Quicknode already supports HyperEVM and HyperCore, so teams building across the Hyperliquid ecosystem can now run Elysium Mainnet alongside the rest of their Hyperliquid stack from one dashboard.

To get started:

1. Create an Elysium Mainnet endpoint on Quicknode.

2. Testing first? Claim testnet funds from the Quicknode faucet.

3. Follow the Elysium docs and point your existing EVM tooling at your endpoint.
