Uniswap has officially launched its v2, v3, and v4 decentralized exchange protocols on the newly debuted Elysium network, expanding its multi-chain footprint into the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Announced via a November 11 post on X, the deployment makes official smart contract addresses immediately available to builders in Uniswap’s developer documentation. The registry confirms that Elysium operates under chain ID 99901 and utilizes HYPE as its native gas token, distinguishing it from the underlying HyperEVM settlement layer, which carries chain ID 999 and maintains separate contract parameters.
Developed by Kinetiq using Arbitrum technology and infrastructure provider Conduit, Elysium opened its public mainnet on November 9 with 100-millisecond block times and a throughput target of 300 million gas units per second. The network allows Solidity and Vyper smart contracts to compile unchanged alongside standard Ethereum developer tools like Foundry and Hardhat. Furthermore, HYPE transfers one-to-one between HyperEVM and Elysium without requiring wrapped tokens, while HyperEVM ERC-20 assets can bridge permissionlessly to support spot trading, lending, derivatives, and token launches.
By bringing all three protocol iterations simultaneously to Elysium, Uniswap provides developers with a complete toolkit ranging from v2’s direct token swaps and v3’s concentrated liquidity to v4’s customizable hook architecture. Unlike v3, which creates separate contracts per pool, v4 consolidates pool state into a single PoolManager contract and allows developers to attach modular hooks for dynamic fees and automated liquidity management. To bolster ecosystem adoption, Kinetiq has also committed 50% of Elysium’s sequencer revenue toward KNTQ token buybacks and allocated another 25% directly to application builders driving network blockspace demand.
