- Uniswap said on November 11 that its v2, v3 and v4 protocols were live on Elysium.
- Elysium uses HYPE as its native gas token and settles to HyperEVM.
- The deployment gives builders access to multiple Uniswap versions within the Hyperliquid ecosystem.
Uniswap said on November 11, 2026, that its v2, v3 and v4 protocols were live on Elysium, a Layer 2 network built for the Hyperliquid ecosystem. The announcement gives developers access to three generations of Uniswap infrastructure on the new network and adds another application layer around HYPE.
Three Uniswap Versions Go Live
Uniswap confirmed the deployment in a post on X. The company directed builders to its official deployment documentation, where the Elysium contract addresses are listed. The Uniswap developer documentation identifies Elysium as chain ID 99901 and lists HYPE as the gas token.
HYPE Connects Trading and Fees
Elysium's public mainnet launched on November 9, according to a Kinetiq announcement published by GlobeNewswire. The network settles to HyperEVM, uses HYPE as its native gas token and targets 100-millisecond blocks with 300 Mgas per second of execution capacity. Kinetiq said HYPE can move between HyperEVM and Elysium on a 1:1 basis without a wrapper token.
For investors tracking the Hyperliquid price, the Uniswap deployment is relevant because it expands the number of applications that can use HYPE for activity on the network. It does not, by itself, establish a direction for the token's price. The practical significance will depend on developer adoption, liquidity and activity on Elysium over time.
Developer Access Comes With Address Risk
Uniswap's documentation warns integrators not to assume that contract addresses are identical across blockchains. Builders therefore need to verify the Elysium-specific addresses before deploying applications or connecting wallets. The launch creates a new venue for swaps and liquidity tools, while the broader Hyperliquid ecosystem continues to develop around onchain trading and programmable finance.
