Get HYPE on Elysium Testnet
Launchcraft runs on Elysium, Kinetiq's chain where HYPE is the gas and the trading currency. Bridge HYPE from HyperEVM testnet right here, 1:1 through Kinetiq's bridge contracts. On testnet the faucet also gives free HYPE straight on Elysium.
How the bridge works
- To Elysium: HYPE leaves your wallet on HyperEVM testnet into the bridge contract and shows up on Elysium at the same address, usually within a minute. Your wallet switches networks for the one signature, then back.
- From Elysium: HYPE is burned on Elysium and released on HyperEVM testnet after the challenge period. You claim it on Kinetiq's bridge.
- Nothing is wrapped and no one holds your funds: the same contracts Kinetiq's own bridge uses, which you can verify on the explorer.

Common questions
Which wallets work?
Any EVM wallet: MetaMask, Rabby, Rainbow, Coinbase Wallet, OKX, and WalletConnect apps on phones. Elysium is a normal EVM chain.
I sent HYPE but my balance is 0
Check the wallet is on Elysium Testnet, not Hyperliquid or HyperEVM. Bridged HYPE lands on Elysium only. Look your address up on the explorer to confirm the transfer arrived.
Do I need anything other than HYPE?
No. HYPE pays gas, buys tokens, and is what you get back when you sell. Fees are taken in HYPE and shown before you confirm.
