TREE NEWS update: Kinetiq’s Elysium, a Layer 2 built on the Arbitrum stack and settling to HyperEVM, will launch on Monday, Nov 9, with target block times of 100ms and gas paid in HYPE. Fomo, Pumpfun and GMGN will support the chain from day one, while Ascend’s first-day test data showed about $5.97 million in volume across 47,254 trades and 873 tokens deployed, generating $34,808 in protocol fees.
Kinetiq’s Elysium Hyperliquid Layer2 to Launch Nov 9
Elysium's real test is whether a Hyperliquid-aligned L2 can convert day-one application support into durable activity rather than a launch spike. The Ascend test figures — modest fees against far larger volume — suggest thin per-trade economics, which matters for anyone watching how HYPE-denominated gas demand develops. The open question is whether the 100ms target and Arbitrum-stack settlement to HyperEVM attract builders beyond the initial Fomo, Pumpfun and GMGN integrations, or whether activity concentrates in a handful of consumer apps.
