How to Trade Elysium, Hyperliquid's New Layer 2, with Maestro
Elysium, Kinetiq's new Layer 2 for Hyperliquid, opens its mainnet on 9 November 2026, and Maestro will support it from launch.
Kinetiq pitches Elysium as Hyperliquid's fast lane, built to handle heavy trading and DeFi activity. Maestro brings that speed to Telegram from day one.
What is Elysium?
Elysium is a Layer 2 blockchain for Hyperliquid, built by Kinetiq, the team behind the kHYPE liquid staking token. It settles to HyperEVM, Hyperliquid's smart contract layer, and runs alongside HyperCore, the order book that powers Hyperliquid's markets.
Its purpose is capacity. HyperEVM runs small blocks by design, which caps how much heavy, nonstop trading it can handle. Elysium gives that activity a dedicated home: trading, token launches and DeFi.
At a glance:
Builder. Kinetiq
Architecture. Arbitrum Orbit rollup, settling to HyperEVM
Block time. 100 ms
Gas token. HYPE, bridged 1:1 from HyperEVM
Mainnet. 9 November 2026
Why Elysium matters for traders
Speed is the obvious draw. With 100 ms blocks and receipts in about 300 ms, trades confirm almost as soon as you send them, and that counts most in the first minutes of a new token's life.
The bigger story is where Elysium sits. The Elysium docs lay out a graduation path for tokens: a token can launch on Elysium, bridge to HyperEVM as it grows, and later list on HyperCore's spot order book. That makes Elysium the earliest place to find the tokens that go on to trade across Hyperliquid.
Network fees on Elysium, known as gas, are paid in HYPE. If you already hold HYPE, there's no new token to buy before you start. Bridge it over from HyperEVM at a 1:1 rate, and it covers the fee on every transaction.
Trading Elysium with Maestro
Maestro is ready for Elysium at launch. From day one Maestro supports Uniswap v4, Ascent, Montra, Metric, and many more popular launchpads.
