Elysium Lines Up Retail On-Ramps for Day One

Kinetiq's new Hyperliquid-aligned chain launches November 9 with Pump.fun, fomo, Uniswap, and options trading already committed.

Kinetiq's Elysium chain goes live November 9 with a pre-assembled roster of trading apps already signed on. Memecoin launchpad Pump.fun and retail trading app fomo will both let users trade from mainnet day one, giving the new network two consumer on-ramps before it has processed a single block. [1]

Elysium named fomo its "exclusive trading partner," though the scope of that exclusivity was left unexplained. [1] On the infrastructure side, Uniswap is incoming, apps built on 0x's swap service will support Elysium trades "from Day 1," and KyberSwap says it's "ready." Elysium also confirmed support for Derive V3, adding options trading to the network at launch. [1]

The chain settles to HyperEVM, Hyperliquid's smart contract layer, and uses HYPE for fees. Direct links to Hyperliquid's order books arrive about four weeks after launch. [1] Half of Elysium's sequencer revenue will fund KNTQ buybacks and burns, while the remaining half is split between builder incentives and Kinetiq's treasury. [1]

[2] KNTQ hit an all-time high near $0.49 on October 28, up about 27% in a week, per CoinGecko. [1]

A chain that arrives with its trading layer already populated is a different animal from one that launches cold. Whether the partners deliver on day-one volume is another question entirely.

Order-book integration comes a month after launch — the first few weeks will show whether the retail on-ramps were enough to hold attention until the deeper liquidity arrives. [1]
