Key Highlights
- Uniswap’s v2, v3, and v4 contract addresses are documented for integration on Elysium, a Layer 2 network linked to Hyperliquid.
- Elysium uses $HYPE as its native gas and settlement token, with transfers from HyperEVM operating at a 1:1 ratio without wrapped tokens.
- Kinetiq plans to direct 50% of sequencer revenue to KNTQ buybacks and 25% to developer incentives, while lending and derivatives integrations are scheduled for the second half of November 2026.
Uniswap Expands v2, v3 and v4 Deployment to Elysium
Uniswap has expanded its deployment footprint to Elysium, a Layer 2 network closely linked to Hyperliquid. The exchange used its official channels to confirm that contract addresses for Uniswap v2, v3, and v4 are already documented and available for immediate technical integration.
The move represents the first time Uniswap’s complete contract stack has been ported to a Layer 2 solution associated with Hyperliquid. It also adds Elysium to the growing list of networks where Uniswap v2, v3, and v4 operate simultaneously, giving decentralized traders access to the exchange’s established order-routing and aggregation capabilities in an environment modeled on its Ethereum deployments.
Elysium Network Performance and $HYPE Gas Model
Elysium was designed with a target block time of 100 milliseconds, equivalent to 10 blocks per second. Its technical records indicate processing capacity of approximately 300 Mgas/s.
The network does not have its own governance token or an independent emissions system. Instead, $HYPE is the sole payment unit used to settle transactions. Kinetiq reported that transfers of $HYPE between HyperEVM and Elysium maintain a 1:1 parity ratio and function as native gas transfers without requiring wrapped tokens.
ERC-20 assets issued on HyperEVM can also be transferred to Elysium without additional permissions. Uniswap documentation identifies Elysium with Chain ID 99901, while the HyperEVM settlement layer retains Chain ID 999 in the global protocol registry.
Contract Verification and Uniswap v4 Features
Smart contracts for Uniswap v2, v3, and v4 were validated on November 5, 2026, four days before Elysium’s public opening. The deployment transactions originated from the institutional wallet that Uniswap Labs routinely uses for official deployments on Ethereum and Unichain.
For Uniswap v4, Uniswap Labs highlighted support for dynamic fee tools and customized liquidity hooks. Elysium’s technical registry lists a PoolManager contract with parameters that operate independently from those used on other compatible chains, allowing the deployment to maintain its own network-specific configuration.
Sequencer Revenue, Token Launches and DeFi Expansion
Elysium’s economic model includes a scheduled distribution of fees generated by its sequencer. Kinetiq has committed to directing 50% of sequencer revenue toward KNTQ token buybacks, while another 25% will be allocated directly to developer incentives.
Official documentation states that teams building on Elysium will be able to use these funds for liquidity programs, fee rebates, or user rewards. Promoters have identified spot trading, lending markets, derivatives, and the issuance of new assets as potential applications on the network.
Launchpad platforms including Supercolony and Citadel have implemented contracts that route newly issued tokens into mandatory paired pools against $HYPE. According to Kinetiq data, the structure links the initial market depth of those tokens directly to the liquidity available in their $HYPE trading pairs.
The next major development milestone is the phased integration of lending protocols and the activation of derivatives during the second half of November 2026.
Why This Matters
Elysium combines a high-frequency block target with direct compatibility for Uniswap’s v2, v3, and v4 contract stack. Its use of $HYPE as native gas, along with permissionless transfers for HyperEVM ERC-20 assets, is designed to reduce friction for users and developers moving between the two environments.
The sequencer-revenue allocation also gives the network a defined framework for supporting token buybacks, developer incentives, liquidity initiatives, and user rewards. However, the immediate expansion of trading infrastructure will be followed by additional lending and derivatives integrations, making those scheduled deployments the next significant test of Elysium’s broader DeFi ecosystem.
