Elysium Airdrop Details

There is no confirmed Elysium airdrop or points program, and Kinetiq has not announced a separate Elysium token. The project already has KNTQ as its governance token.

The case for farming rests on two things: early testnet users are often the ones projects reward when incentives arrive, and 25% of future sequencer revenue is set aside for builders and apps, part of which could fund user rewards and rebates.

Testnet activity costs nothing, since all gas comes from faucets. The most useful actions are the ones that move a token through its full path on Elysium: launch, bonding curve, graduation into a pool. Kinetiq built the chain around this flow.

How to Participate in the Elysium Testnet Airdrop

Step 1: Add the Elysium Testnet to Your Wallet

Open the Elysium testnet faucet and add the network in one click. Chain ID is 99801 and gas is paid in HYPE. A fresh wallet without real funds works best for testnets.

Step 2: Claim Test HYPE From Both Faucets

Claim test HYPE on Elysium from the same faucet page. You also need HYPE on the HyperEVM testnet to bridge, which you can get from the Hyperliquid faucet linked on that page.

Step 3: Bridge Between HyperEVM and Elysium

Use the Elysium testnet bridge to move test HYPE from HyperEVM to Elysium, then bridge some back. Doing both directions gives you baseline on-chain activity.

Step 4: Launch and Trade Tokens on Elysium Launchpads

Pick one or more launchpads from the Elysium ecosystem page: Signal, CorePad, PerpMe, Chainzy, Oxley, Ascend or Neuriio.

  • Create a token or buy into an existing one on its bonding curve

  • Hold until the token graduates into a liquidity pool

  • Trade the graduated token in its pool

Step 5: Use the Other Ecosystem dApps

Spread your activity across the rest of the testnet apps:

  • Hyperflip: place parlays built on HIP-4

  • Temporal Finance: trade options on perps

  • Enso: route swaps between tokens

Tips for Maximizing Your Elysium Activity

Spread transactions across days. A few interactions daily over several weeks looks more like a real user than 50 transactions in one sitting.

Complete full token cycles. Launching a token, buying on the curve and trading it after graduation matches the HyperCore-bound flow the chain was designed for.

Touch every category. Bridging, launchpads, parlays, options and swaps each hit different contracts, which widens your on-chain footprint.

Conclusion

Elysium gives Hyperliquid builders an EVM chain that connects straight into HyperCore, with fees flowing back to KNTQ and to the apps that bring in users. The testnet is free and already has a full set of launchpads, options and parlay apps to try.

What is Elysium?

Elysium is a Layer 2 network built by Kinetiq for the Hyperliquid ecosystem. The Elysium testnet has been live since September 22, 2026, and it is the main way to get early on-chain activity in before mainnet and any potential Elysium airdrop.

The network targets high-throughput DeFi: high-frequency trading, market making, AMMs and token launches.

Kinetiq raised a $1.75M seed round in October 2025, led by Maven 11, with Susquehanna Crypto, Chorus One, Flowdesk, IMC Trading, Pier Two and Infinite Field participating.
