Elysium launches with HYPE gas; Hypesium rewards creators

By Nathan Brooks

Kinetiq Research announced Elysium’s public mainnet launch on Nov. 9, describing a Hyperliquid-focused layer-2 network with 100-millisecond blocks, HYPE as native gas and a 300 million gas-unit-per-second execution target.

Kinetiq’s launch announcement said Elysium is built on Arbitrum technology, operates with Conduit and settles transactions to HyperEVM. HYPE moves between HyperEVM and Elysium on a one-to-one basis without a wrapper token, according to the release. HyperEVM ERC-20 assets can bridge to Elysium permissionlessly.

What changes for developers and traders?

Kinetiq’s launch release sets aside two defined shares of sequencer revenue:

• 50% will fund purchases of KNTQ.
• 25% will support builders whose applications generate demand for blockspace.

Builders can use their allocations for liquidity programs, user incentives or fee rebates. Kinetiq’s earlier Elysium plans, reported by crypto.news in August, included directing purchased KNTQ toward burns and assigning the remaining quarter of sequencer fees to the treasury.

For developers, the builder allocation links application usage to sequencer revenue. For traders, the immediate implications are HYPE as gas and a 1% advertised fee for Hypesium trades, alongside the absence of transaction evidence for the bot’s claimed execution performance.

How Hypesium pays for attention

Hypesium is a Telegram trading bot built for Elysium. Starlist’s campaign listing establishes two reward tiers:

• The top 20 creators share 1,500 USDT.
• Creators ranked 21 through 100 are offered a combined 1% of the Hypesium token supply when the token launches.

Listed cash prizes range from 300 USDT for first place to 35 USDT each for positions 11 through 20. Creators receive instructions to mention Hypesium and publish content explaining its features. Replies count toward the campaign, while copied posts receive one-fifth of the normal STARS score.

Sajidkhan Khan wrote on X: “Create content, earn STARS, and climb the leaderboard.” The post paired the cash pool and token allocation with fast swaps and Telegram sniping, and quoted another account promoting instant execution, position monitoring and sell limits.

The campaign creates a direct financial incentive to publish about Hypesium. It does not establish how much X discussion came from contestants or whether rewarded posts caused either name to enter the platform’s worldwide trends.

Hypesium’s claimed trading workflow

A separate X post from SofiX.eth described Hypesium as a bot designed specifically for Elysium and claimed the chain has no public mempool. According to the post, the bot prepares a purchase before a liquidity pool exists and submits the buy when the pool-creation event arrives.

SofiX.eth called this “first-block execution” and listed deployer snipes, ticker snipes, tracked wallets and automated exits. An accompanying promotional image advertised bridging, trading and launch sniping through Telegram. The post provides a product description without transaction records demonstrating execution speed or trading results.

Hypesium’s campaign materials say bot wallets are encrypted and exportable. They advertise a 1% trading fee, transaction simulation and checks intended to identify tokens that cannot be sold. These are stated product terms, not independently verified performance results.

Trading infrastructure around Hyperliquid

Trading tools have expanded around Hyperliquid’s smart-contract environment. Pump.fun previously added token trading on HyperEVM using USDC, while HYPE remained HyperEVM’s transaction-fee asset.

Kinetiq participated in a separate infrastructure rollout when DoubleZero launched Hyperliquid order-book feeds in September. DoubleZero described its subscription service as supplying market data to trading firms, market makers and quantitative desks. The Elysium launch adds another layer-2 venue to that trading stack, although no adoption figures were provided.

Disclosure rules for paid promotion

The US Federal Trade Commission’s influencer guidance says endorsements should make financial or other material relationships with a brand obvious to readers. Financial connections can include benefits beyond cash. Disclosures should accompany the endorsement, where readers are unlikely to miss them, rather than sit among hashtags or only on a profile page.

For posts published outside the United States, the FTC says US law can apply when an effect on American consumers is reasonably foreseeable. The guidance identifies “ad” and “sponsored” as examples of clear disclosure language.

The next market-structure checkpoint comes when Hypesium launches its token and creators ranked 21 through 100 become eligible for the advertised 1% allocation; for US-facing campaigns, the FTC guidance makes publication the disclosure checkpoint.
