Uniswap V2 Routers and V4 Deployments Queued for Elysium Testnet Ahead of November 9 Mainnet

Uniswap V2 routers and V4 deployments are queued for the Elysium testnet, with mainnet targeted for November 9, 2026, according to Crypto Briefing. The announcement on X was five words with no thread or roadmap, the outlet reported. Elysium is a new chain designed for speed-focused traders, and Uniswap's contracts could become a core part of its trading plumbing.

How Elysium's HYPE Trading Chain Works

Elysium is being developed by Kinetiq and is described as a new layer-2 chain on Arbitrum Orbit. The chain runs on HyperEVM technology and uses HYPE tokens as its native gas token, so every transaction fee on the network is paid in HYPE. Elysium is aiming for block times of approximately 100-200 ms and throughput of around 300 Mgas/s, a profile that targets high-frequency traders and professional market makers. The mainnet chain ID is 999, and the testnet uses chain ID 998.

Launchpads on the chain, including Supercolony and Citadel, send newly minted tokens straight into locked Uniswap V3 pools quoted against HYPE. There are no bonding curves and no migrations in that process, so tokens start life in a locked liquidity pool rather than graduating from a pricing formula. As of October 23, 2026, Uniswap V2 routers and upcoming V4 deployments were confirmed for the next batch on the Elysium testnet. Adding V2 and V4 routing alongside V3 pools could let trades move across different generations of Uniswap liquidity.

Elysium's public testnet launched on September 22, 2026. The chain is in a pre-mainnet phase, with no official figures yet published for total value locked or trading volume. The Uniswap integration is described as limited to on-chain deployments, and no official Uniswap Labs support has been announced. One of Elysium's stated goals is avoiding liquidity fragmentation by keeping trading activity inside the Hyperliquid ecosystem, following standards set by existing launchpads like Supercolony and Citadel.

Uniswap Labs' Recent Partnership Record

Uniswap Labs partnered with Spark, part of the Sky Ecosystem, in June 2026 to launch a Stablecoin FX Layer on Uniswap v4, deploying $150 million in stablecoin liquidity across USDS, USDT, and PYUSD pools, according to akta.pro company records. PayPal, Tether, and Sky joined at launch. In March 2026, Uniswap listed BlackRock's $2 billion-plus BUIDL tokenized Treasury fund via Securitize, enabling whitelisted institutions to trade tokenized Treasuries across Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain. Uniswap Labs launched the Continuous Clearing Auction protocol and a no-code auction tool within its Web App in February 2026, enabling projects to run fair-launch token auctions whose proceeds auto-seed Uniswap v4 pools.

Uniswap's Product Rollouts Before Elysium

Uniswap Labs launched aggregator hooks on Ethereum, Base, and Robinhood Chain on October 22, 2026, enabling Uniswap v4 to route trades through external liquidity sources like Fluid, Curve, and PancakeSwap, The Block reported. On October 14, 2026, Uniswap launched the VolatilePair Hook on Ethereum mainnet, starting with an ETH/USDC pool that charges separate dynamic fees for buys and sells plus a temporary surcharge to protect liquidity providers from arbitrage losses, Crypto Briefing reported. Uniswap posted record $14.81 million in September 2026 protocol revenue, with Robinhood Chain accounting for 53% of that total, Crypto Briefing reported on October 17, 2026.

Elysium's November 9 Mainnet Target

Elysium's mainnet is targeted for November 9, 2026, following the public testnet launch on September 22, 2026. The Uniswap V2 routers and V4 deployments are queued for the Elysium testnet ahead of that mainnet target.
