Uniswap to deploy on Elysium, an Arbitrum Orbit L2 built for HYPE trading

  • —Elysium is an Arbitrum Orbit L2 targeting 100–200 ms blocks and 300 Mgas/s
  • —Mainnet is slated for November 9, 2026 with chain ID 999; testnet uses 998
  • —Launchpads Supercolony and Citadel seed new tokens directly into locked Uniswap V3 pools quoted in HYPE
  • —No formal Uniswap Labs backing — integration rests on deployed contracts
Why it matters: The integration adds another use case for HYPE as gas and quote asset, but without Uniswap Labs backing it remains a contract deployment rather than a partnership.
