Elysium mainnet is live, and today we're launching our credit program for teams building on it. As Elysium's primary RPC provider, we're offering up to $10,000 in Alchemy credits per team.
Elysium is a DeFi Layer 2 (L2) from Kinetiq, built for the Hyperliquid ecosystem. An L2 runs its own transactions and settles them to a base chain. Elysium settles to HyperEVM, Hyperliquid's smart contract chain, and runs alongside HyperCore, the engine behind Hyperliquid's order books. That means contracts on Elysium read Hyperliquid market data directly, without an extra hop. Gas is paid in HYPE, Hyperliquid's native token.
Elysium is built for latency-sensitive trading: high-frequency strategies, market-making AMMs (automated market makers, smart contracts that hold liquidity and quote prices to traders automatically), and the apps built on top of them. For those apps, a slow or dropped connection means stale prices and missed trades.
The program is simple. Apply for credits, run your Elysium traffic on Alchemy, and decide if it fits your stack. No lock-in, no proprietary APIs.
Apply now for up to $10,000 in credits on Elysium.
What's live on Elysium today
Alchemy supports two products on Elysium:
- Node RPC gives you production JSON-RPC endpoints, the URLs your app calls to read chain data and send transactions. Elysium is built on Arbitrum Orbit and is EVM-compatible, so the methods, client libraries, and tooling you already use work unchanged.
- WebSockets push new blocks and contract events to your app over one open connection, so it reacts the moment state changes instead of polling for it.
Both run on the infrastructure behind the largest onchain apps, with 99.99% uptime and the lowest average response time of any provider in our live benchmarks.
