Elysium mainnet is live on Alchemy, and we're its primary RPC provider. Elysium is a high-performance Layer 2 built by Kinetiq that settles to HyperEVM, the EVM chain in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Teams can build on it through Alchemy from the first block, with the same dashboard, keys, and SDKs they already use.
Elysium produces a block every 100 milliseconds and targets 300 million gas of execution per second, which Kinetiq puts at roughly 600x the capacity of HyperEVM's big blocks. That's the speed and headroom latency-sensitive trading apps need, built on top of HyperEVM.
Why Elysium stands out
Built for low-latency trading on HyperEVM
HyperEVM's block design keeps the chain efficient, but it caps how much sustained execution it can carry. Elysium settles to HyperEVM and takes on that load, unlocking unprecedented high-frequency, low-latency trading and professional market-making AMMs.
HYPE is the gas token
HYPE moves 1:1 between HyperEVM and Elysium as native gas, with no wrapper and no new token to hold. Any HyperEVM ERC-20 can bridge to Elysium permissionlessly, and tokens launched on Elysium can bridge back to HyperEVM.
What developers can build on Elysium
With 100 millisecond blocks, market makers can requote every block. Derivatives, structured products, spot AMMs, PropAMMs, token launchpads, and lending markets all get the same headroom.
Kinetiq is also sharing 25% of Elysium sequencer revenue with the builders whose apps drive blockspace demand, so the teams bringing activity to the network earn a recurring cut of what it generates.
Why Alchemy is Elysium's primary RPC provider
On a chain this fast, the hop between your app and the network decides whether you catch a block or miss it. As Elysium's primary RPC provider, we give teams low-latency access from launch day:
- Node RPC, so trading systems can read state and land transactions at the pace of a 100 millisecond block
- WebSockets, so apps stream new blocks and logs as they land instead of polling
- One Alchemy account, so teams already building with us add Elysium to an existing app with the keys and dashboard they have
Alchemy supports more than $1 trillion in transactions each year at 99.99% uptime, and is SOC 2 Type II certified.
Elysium mainnet is live on Alchemy now: no waitlist, no second provider to set up. Start with our Elysium documentation, or reach out and tell us what you're shipping.
Frequently asked questions
Does Alchemy support Elysium mainnet?
Yes. Elysium mainnet is live on Alchemy, and Alchemy is Elysium's primary RPC provider. Developers can connect through Node RPC and WebSockets from launch day.
What is Elysium?
Elysium is a high-performance Layer 2 built by Kinetiq that settles to HyperEVM, the EVM chain in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. It uses HYPE for gas and produces a block every 100 milliseconds.
How is Elysium different from HyperEVM?
Elysium is a Layer 2 that settles to HyperEVM and adds capacity on top of it. It runs its own 100 millisecond blocks with far more throughput, built for latency-sensitive workflows like trading.
What is the gas token on Elysium?
HYPE. It moves 1:1 between HyperEVM and Elysium as native gas, with no wrapper token.
Can I deploy my existing Solidity contracts to Elysium?
Yes. Elysium is EVM-compatible, so existing Solidity contracts deploy without changes, using the developer tools you already work with.
