Getting on Elysium
Elysium is a chain with HYPE as its native gas token. To use Elydex you need HYPE on Elysium. There are three ways in, all on the Bridge page.
HYPE from HyperEVM
One transaction: depositEth on the Elysium Inbox from your wallet on HyperEVM. HYPE arrives as native gas at the same address, usually in seconds to about a minute.
USDC from HyperEVM
Two transactions: approve the gateway, then outboundTransfer on the HyperEVM router. The USDC arrives as the bridged representation on Elysium. The deposit carries about 0.00043 HYPE of gas funding, and the unused part refunds to you on Elysium.
From another chain
LI.FI and Relay reach HYPE on HyperEVM from Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon and BNB Chain. They do not list Elysium yet, so this is two steps run as one guided flow: the route to HyperEVM, then the deposit. When a single-transaction route ships, it can be added.
Gas
Elysium gas is paid in HYPE at about 0.1 gwei, so cents cover a day of activity. Keep a little on hand.
