How to get HYPE onto Elysium (bridge guide)
Elysium uses HYPE for gas and most of its coins are paired against HYPE, so you need some on the chain before you can do anything. HYPE on HyperEVM and HYPE on Elysium are separate balances.
Mainnet (chain 99901)
Until Kinetiq's official bridge opens with the Nov 9 launch, HYPE reaches Elysium through the bridges launchpads have set up on their own sites (Boxa, ElysPump and ArkhamPad each offer one) and through third-party cross-chain routers that have added the chain. The flow is the same everywhere:
- Connect the wallet that holds HYPE on HyperEVM.
- Choose HyperEVM → Elysium, enter an amount, confirm.
- Wait for finality (seconds to a couple of minutes depending on the route).
- Switch your wallet to the Elysium network — the balance appears there.
Bridge a little more than you plan to trade. Gas is cheap, but every buy, approval and sell costs a bit of HYPE, and you don't want to be stuck with coins you can't sell for lack of gas.
Testnet (chain 99801)
Testnet HYPE has no value and comes from the faucet at testnet.elysium.kinetiq.xyz/faucet. The faucet only pays wallets that hold real HYPE on HyperEVM (an anti-spam measure), so fund your HyperEVM wallet with a small amount first. See the testnet faucet guide.
After Nov 9
Expect the official Kinetiq bridge, listings in the major wallet bridge menus, and the usual aggregators to add Elysium as a destination. We'll update this page as they go live.
Troubleshooting
- Bridged but balance is 0. Make sure your wallet is on Elysium, not HyperEVM. Public nodes can also lag a block; refresh after 30 seconds.
- Transaction fails with a gas error. Set gas to Aggressive in MetaMask and retry (details).
