Elysium's mainnet chain ID is 99901 (hex 0x1863D) and its gas token is HYPE with 18 decimals. To add it to MetaMask, enter those values with an RPC URL from Elysium's official bridge page or a known provider, and check that the explorer is elysium.kinetiq.xyz.

Elysium mainnet and testnet network values: chain ID, hex ID, currency, explorer and parent chain.
Check these against Elysium's official channels.

Where do you get an RPC URL?

An RPC URL is the address your wallet uses to talk to the chain. Kinetiq's launch release points to elysium.kinetiq.xyz/bridge for RPC and explorer details. Infrastructure providers including Alchemy (Kinetiq's primary provider), QuickNode and Chainstack offer Elysium endpoints.

Avoid RPC URLs from replies, DMs or unknown sites. A malicious RPC can show fake balances or wrong data.

How do you add Elysium to MetaMask?

  1. Open MetaMask, go to networks and choose Add a custom network.
  2. Enter Network name "Elysium Mainnet", your RPC URL, Chain ID 99901, Currency symbol HYPE and Block explorer URL https://elysium.kinetiq.xyz.
  3. Save and switch to the network. Result: your HYPE balance on Elysium shows (zero until you bridge).
  4. Check a recent block on the explorer to confirm the RPC returns live data.

Wallets with built-in Elysium support, such as Zerion, skip the manual step.

How do you avoid the wrong "Elysium"?

At least two unrelated chains also use the name. Chain IDs 1338 and 1339 belong to another project, and viem's built-in elysiumTestnet is that other chain, using the LAVA currency. Chainstack advises developers to define chains 99901 and 99801 manually.

If a wallet prompt shows a different chain ID, a currency other than HYPE, or an explorer outside kinetiq.xyz, reject it.

Three checks before you approve an Elysium network prompt: chain ID 99901, currency HYPE and an explorer on kinetiq.xyz.
Anything else is not Kinetiq's Elysium.

How do developers configure Elysium?

For Foundry, Hardhat, viem or ethers, define the chain yourself: chain ID 99901, native currency HYPE with 18 decimals, your RPC URL from a provider, and the explorer at elysium.kinetiq.xyz. Chainstack notes that Multicall3 lives at its usual address on Elysium, and that the explorer exposes a Blockscout API at elysium.kinetiq.xyz/api for contract verification. Test against Elysium testnet (99801) first, which has its own faucet and bridge.

What do you do after connecting?

For other networks, our Robinhood Chain RPC tool shows how a one-click add-network button works.

What are the risks?

  • Fake RPCs can show false balances.
  • Wrong network prompts from look-alike chains.
  • New infrastructure. RPC providers and explorers can be slow or briefly unavailable in a chain's first days.

You can lose money in crypto. This is not financial advice.
