Hyperliquid Ecosystem's Elysium Mainnet Officially Launches

on November 9, Elysium, an L2 network in the Hyperliquid ecosystem, announced its mainnet launch. Built by the Kinetiq team and based on Arbitrum Orbit (Nitro/ArbOS) with operations managed by Conduit, the protocol is officially positioned as "high-performance block space designed to combine with Hyperliquid's pricing and liquidity."

According to official documentation, Elysium features a block time of 100 milliseconds, user-perceived finality of approximately 300 milliseconds, and an execution target of 300 Mgas/s; the gas token utilizes native HYPE (bridged 1:1 from HyperEVM), with settlement occurring on HyperEVM (chain ID 999). The initial launch phase operates with a single sequencer and neutral priority fee ordering. Data availability employs the AnyTrust model (initially a single Conduit DA server, pending committee formation), and withdrawals follow standard optimistic withdrawal mechanics with a challenge period of approximately 5.5 days.

Official channels indicate that tokens can complete the defined lifecycle within the ecosystem: issuance on the Elysium AMM, liquidity deepening in prop-AMM markets, graduation to the HyperCore spot order book, and achieving perpetual listing via HIP-3. Contracts can directly read HyperCore's order book, prices, balances, and positions, and can trigger HyperCore orders in approximately 100 milliseconds while the placing user maintains asset custody. Approximately four weeks post-mainnet launch, upgrades will integrate a HyperCore-native market data precompile and a fast-write channel. Future roadmap items include MEV monitoring, native Timeboost, a multi-member DA committee, permissionless Arbitrum BoLD proofs, and audits. Additionally, a portion of sequencer revenue will be allocated to ecosystem incentives.
