Elysium, a Layer 2 network in the Hyperliquid ecosystem built by the Kinetiq team, announced its mainnet launch on November 9, 2026, according to TechFlow. Its pitch centers on blockchain execution that can work with Hyperliquid’s pricing and liquidity. The launch configuration, however, should be distinguished from its performance targets and planned upgrades.
What the launch documentation describes
Elysium is based on Arbitrum Orbit (Nitro/ArbOS) and operated by Conduit. According to its official documentation, the network has:
- 100-millisecond block times and approximately 300-millisecond user-perceived transaction arrival, with an execution target of 300 Mgas/s.
- Native HYPE as its gas token, bridged 1:1 from HyperEVM.
- Settlement on HyperEVM, whose chain ID is 999.
- A single sequencer at launch, using neutral priority-fee ordering.
- AnyTrust data availability, initially relying on a single Conduit data-availability server, with the committee composition still to be determined.
- Standard optimistic withdrawals, with a challenge period of approximately 5.5 days.
These are documentation-based specifications and targets, not independently verified performance results in the supplied report. The fast execution figures also should not be confused with the substantially longer standard withdrawal challenge period.
The token-market narrative
The team describes a route through which a token could launch on an Elysium AMM, deepen liquidity in a prop-AMM market, graduate to HyperCore’s spot order book, and obtain a perpetual-market listing through HIP-3—all within the same ecosystem.
Officials also say contracts can directly read HyperCore order books, prices, balances and positions, and can trigger HyperCore orders in approximately 100 milliseconds while users retain custody of their assets.
These statements describe the team’s proposed capabilities and market pathway. The report does not document tokens completing that entire route or independently establish the claimed execution performance.
What remained on the roadmap
An upgrade planned for roughly four weeks after mainnet launch was expected to add native HyperCore market-data precompiles and a fast write channel. Further plans included MEV monitoring and native Timeboost, a multi-member data-availability committee, Arbitrum BoLD permissionless proofs, and audits. A portion of sequencer revenue was also reserved for ecosystem incentives.
The central distinction is between the integration narrative and the launch-stage configuration: the network began with a single sequencer and a single data-availability server, while several additional mechanisms remained planned. The supplied announcement does not establish whether those later upgrades were delivered.
