What each date means
Mainnet day
HYPE is the gas token and bridges 1:1 from HyperEVM. Wallets such as OKX Wallet and Zerion supported Elysium at launch, and MetaMask works with custom network details. See the mainnet launch page and wallets for Elysium.
November 27: the KNTQ unlock
About 12.9 million KNTQ unlock each month for two years. We break down the numbers in the unlock page.
Early December: HyperCore hooks
These would let contracts on Elysium read Hyperliquid market data and route orders to HyperCore. If it ships as planned, trading apps could build on-chain tools that use live Hyperliquid order books. See the HyperCore integration guide.
Hardening phase
Fraud proofs and other changes would reduce how much you must trust the operators. Read the security model for what the launch setup means today.
