The Uniswap protocol is set to arrive on the Elysium blockchain, a layer-2 network built on Arbitrum Orbit. This integration, which lacks official support from Uniswap Labs, utilizes HYPE tokens for gas fees and liquidity provisioning.
Why it matters
The deployment aims to prevent liquidity fragmentation by consolidating trading activity within the Hyperliquid ecosystem. By centralizing pools, the network seeks to streamline asset availability for tokens launching through platforms like Supercolony and Citadel.
The Elysium network operates with target block times of 100-200 ms and a throughput capacity of 300 Mgas/s. It utilizes chain ID 999 for mainnet operations and 998 for the current testnet.
The players
Uniswap
A decentralized finance protocol that uses automated liquidity pools to facilitate token trading across multiple blockchain networks.
Kinetiq
The developer behind the Elysium blockchain, a layer-2 network designed for the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
The details
Elysium is a layer-2 chain—a secondary framework built to offload transactions from a main blockchain—constructed on Arbitrum Orbit. The architecture employs a routing system designed to bridge Uniswap V2 and V4 deployments, ensuring compatibility across different versions of the automated market maker. Tokens launching through entities like Supercolony and Citadel are sent directly into locked Uniswap V3 liquidity pools where HYPE serves as the primary quote asset.
Timeline
September 22, 2026: Elysium public testnet launched.
October 23, 2026: Uniswap V2 and V4 routers confirmed for testnet.
November 9, 2026: Target date for Elysium mainnet launch.
The Tech Race
Elysium is positioning itself against other specialized layer-2 networks by centralizing trading liquidity for the Hyperliquid ecosystem. This deployment marks a shift toward integrating established decentralized protocols directly into vertical-specific chain architectures.
Users will be able to trade tokens launched via platforms like Supercolony and Citadel directly within the Elysium ecosystem upon mainnet launch. Those participating in the testnet currently use chain ID 998 to access these features.
The takeaway
This deployment illustrates the trend of isolating trading liquidity within purpose-built layer-2 networks to enhance throughput. Observers should track the November 9, 2026 mainnet launch to see if the network sustains its target 300 Mgas/s performance under real-world volume.
What happens next
The Elysium mainnet is scheduled to launch on November 9, 2026.
