Bridging to Elysium
The pool lives on Elysium (chain 99901). HYPE and KNTQ must be on Elysium before you can deposit. Getting in is fast. Getting out is slow, and you should know that before you start.
Routes in
| You hold | Steps | Time | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| USDC on Arbitrum | Deposit to Hyperliquid, buy HYPE or KNTQ on spot, send to HyperEVM, bridge to Elysium | ~5 min | ~0.1% |
| HYPE / KNTQ on HyperCore | Send to HyperEVM, bridge to Elysium | ~2 min | gas |
| HYPE / KNTQ on HyperEVM | Bridge to Elysium | ~1 min | 0.0005 HYPE |

The official bridge is at elysium.kinetiq.xyz/bridge. KNTQ bridged this way becomes the canonical Elysium KNTQ used by the pool. Beware of look-alike tokens.
Getting out
Elysium is an Arbitrum Orbit rollup. Withdrawals to HyperEVM wait for a challenge period of 483,840 HyperEVM blocks, about 5.5 days, then need a claim transaction. Count on 6 to 7 days. No aggregator lists Elysium yet, so there is no instant exit except community OTC desks that charge around 3%.
Funds that stay on Elysium can be moved and redeployed instantly. Only leaving the chain is slow.
Gas
Gas on Elysium is paid in HYPE. Keep at least 0.01 HYPE in your wallet. Smart-contract wallets receive bridged funds at an aliased address; use a standard wallet.
