Uniswap launches v2, v3 and v4 on Kinetiq's Elysium L2

What happened

Uniswap, a widely used decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol, said in an X post on 11 November 2026 that “Uniswap v2, v3, and v4 are live on Elysium”. It pointed builders to its developer docs for the official contract addresses. Elysium is the Layer 2 network (a chain that batches transactions and settles them on another chain, here HyperEVM) that Kinetiq launched on 9 November. HYPE pays all network fees on it.

Uniswap’s docs now list Elysium as a mainnet deployment under chain ID 99901, separate from HyperEVM (chain ID 999), which has its own Uniswap contracts at different addresses. The v4 entry lists a PoolManager (the single contract that holds every v4 pool), a PositionManager, a Quoter, StateView and two Universal Router versions. The v3 page lists a factory, a position manager, routers and quoters. The v2 table lists a factory and a router. The three versions differ mainly in how liquidity is provided: v2 spreads it across all prices, v3 lets providers concentrate it in a price range, and v4 adds “hooks”, custom code that a pool can run around trades.

When we queried Elysium’s public RPC at 03:20 UTC on 12 November, the v2 factory, the v3 factory and the v4 PoolManager all held contract code. The v2 factory reported 62 pairs created. Crypto Briefing reported on 9 November that the contracts were in place when the mainnet opened. Uniswap’s own announcement is dated 11 November.

What is not confirmed

Uniswap’s post was aimed at developers. It did not say whether the Uniswap web app, wallet or API supports Elysium. Crypto Briefing reported that token launchpads on Elysium seed new tokens into Uniswap v3 pools quoted against HYPE. Check any front end against Kinetiq’s and Uniswap’s official links before connecting a wallet.

What it means for traders

Uniswap contracts give Elysium apps a standard set of pools and routers, so token launchpads, aggregators and wallets can plug in with familiar tools. Pools on a two-day-old chain can be thin. Large trades can move prices sharply, and liquidity providers can lose value if prices move against their position. Funds bridged from Elysium back to HyperEVM go through a challenge period of about 5.5 days.
