Elysium mainnet launch: what happens on November 9, 2026
Kinetiq has set November 9, 2026 as the public mainnet launch of Elysium, its Layer-2 on Hyperliquid. Here is what that day changes, and what to have ready.
What's actually launching
- Official RPC and explorer. Until now mainnet (chain 99901) has been reachable only through community nodes run by launchpads. On launch day Kinetiq's own RPC and block explorer go public, which means wallets, bridges and tools can list Elysium normally.
- Ascend, the launchpad Kinetiq partners with, moves from testnet to mainnet.
- Testnet launchpads flip to mainnet. Most pads that have been "on testnet" (Kalos, Chainzy, Kiln, ANEMOS, sasa and others) plan to deploy their contracts on mainnet on or right after Nov 9.
- Large outside launchpads have announced Elysium support for the same window.
What it means for traders
Launch days on new chains follow a pattern: a flood of new coins in the first hours, very thin liquidity, and bots that buy in the same block the pool is created. Two numbers matter more than usual:
- Liquidity — a coin with $3K of liquidity moves 50% on a $500 buy.
- Bot clusters — ElyScreener shows what share of a coin's supply sits in wallets that bought in the same block. See bot clusters explained.
Checklist before Nov 9
- Add Elysium to your wallet (guide).
- Hold some HYPE on HyperEVM, ready to bridge. Gas on Elysium is paid in HYPE.
- Bookmark elyscreener.com — every launchpad's coins on one screen, ranked by what's actually trading.
- Decide your rules in advance: max buy size, max bot share, when you sell. Launch day is not the moment to improvise.
What we'll do on launch day
ElyScreener reads the chain directly, so new launchpads show up as soon as their first pool is created. We'll tag each new pad as it appears and update the launchpad comparison through the day.
