Uniswap Labs launched three versions of its decentralized exchange protocol simultaneously on the Elysium network on November 11, 2026. The three protocol generations - v2, v3, and v4 - arrived together on the network, which opened its public mainnet just two days earlier on November 9, 2026. Developed by Kinetiq, the new platform immediately became the debut deployment ground for the crypto market’s largest decentralized exchange.
Deploying three Uniswap variants in a single day marks a novel milestone in the decentralized ecosystem. The rollout pairs Uniswap liquidity with new infrastructure engineered for high-speed transactions.
100-Millisecond Architecture and HYPE Gas Mechanics
Elysium operates on Arbitrum technology stack with support from infrastructure provider Conduit. All transaction settlements from the network are routed directly to HyperEVM. Operatively, Elysium is registered under chain ID 99901, distinguishing it from HyperEVM, which uses chain ID 999.
The network’s technical specifications center on execution speed. Block times on Elysium take just 100 milliseconds, with a target throughput of up to 300 million gas units per second. This capacity is designed to process transactions without prolonged confirmation delays.
Transaction fees are powered by the HYPE token as the native gas asset. The token transfers between HyperEVM and Elysium at a 1:1 ratio without requiring a wrapper token. Users and developers can also bridge standard ERC-20 tokens permissionlessly from HyperEVM to Elysium.
On the application development front, smart contracts written in Solidity and Vyper can be compiled directly on Elysium without source code modifications. This compatibility enables developers to leverage standard Ethereum tooling, including Foundry, Hardhat, viem, and ethers, without technical friction.
Distinct Roles of v2, v3, and the v4 Hooks System
The simultaneous rollout introduces distinct technical roles across liquidity markets. Uniswap v4’s deployment on Elysium features a singleton contract architecture known as PoolManager. This design holds the state of all trading pools within a single contract, replacing the v3 model that relied on separate contracts for each asset pool.
Alongside the singleton architecture, Uniswap v4 on Elysium incorporates a modular hooks system. This feature allows developers to inject custom logic into contracts, which can be executed before or after a swap is processed, when liquidity is added, or when capital is withdrawn from a pool.
The two predecessor versions retain dedicated roles on the network. Uniswap v3 provides concentrated liquidity features, allowing liquidity providers to allocate capital within specific price ranges for greater capital efficiency. Meanwhile, Uniswap v2 remains in place for direct trading functionality between ERC-20 tokens using the classic model.
The combination of 100-millisecond block times and three pool models offers users in the HyperEVM ecosystem practical flexibility to choose the trading approach that best suits their needs.
