Elysium RPC where Hyperliquid scales

Elysium is a separate Layer 2 blockchain built by Kinetiq specifically to expand the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Its purpose is to provide more execution capacity for DeFi and trading applications while keeping them connected to Hyperliquid's native assets, liquidity, and trading infrastructure. Unlike HyperEVM, which runs directly on Hyperliquid's Layer 1, Elysium is built on the Arbitrum Orbit stack and settles to HyperEVM, Hyperliquid's EVM execution environment.

GetBlock's Elysium RPC service is designed to provide managed access to the Elysium blockchain through API endpoints. Developers can connect their applications using standard JSON-RPC requests without running and maintaining their own blockchain nodes. The service is intended to simplify access to Elysium for wallets, DeFi protocols, trading applications, and other Web3 projects.

Elysium is EVM-compatible, so it can be added to wallets that support custom EVM networks. Developers and users can configure a wallet with Elysium's network details, including its RPC URL, Chain ID, and HYPE as the native currency. The same configuration can be used with standard EVM development frameworks and libraries.

Elysium RPC endpoints provide access to standard EVM blockchain data, including account balances, nonces, contract code, blocks, transactions, transaction receipts, and smart contract event logs. Developers can use methods such as eth_getBalance, eth_getBlockByNumber, eth_getTransactionReceipt, and eth_getLogs to retrieve this information. Access to historical state at arbitrary past blocks requires an archive endpoint.

To connect to Elysium mainnet, create an endpoint in the GetBlock dashboard and use its HTTPS JSON-RPC URL in your EVM client, wallet, or application. Set the chain ID to 99901. To use Elysium Testnet, configure a separate testnet RPC endpoint with chain ID 99801.

Elysium supports standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods. Use eth_blockNumber to get the latest block number, eth_getBalance to check an account's HYPE balance, eth_call for read-only contract calls, and eth_getLogs for event logs. Use eth_getTransactionByHash to retrieve transaction details and eth_getTransactionReceipt to check the result. Use eth_sendRawTransaction to broadcast a signed transaction and eth_estimateGas to estimate the gas it requires.

Yes. Elysium's developer infrastructure includes WebSocket RPC endpoints. With a compatible WebSocket connection, applications can subscribe to blockchain events using standard Ethereum subscription methods such as eth_subscribe. Common applications include monitoring new blocks, tracking contract events, and building real-time transaction monitoring tools.

Elysium mainnet uses chain ID 99901, which eth_chainId returns as 0x1863d. Elysium Testnet ID is 99801. HYPE is the native gas token on both networks.
