Elysium mainnet is chain ID 99901 (hex 0x1863d) and the public testnet is chain ID 99801. Both use HYPE as the native gas token with 18 decimals. Kinetiq publishes the official mainnet RPC and block explorer at the public launch on 9 November 2026; until then, only use endpoints listed on Kinetiq's own "Connecting to Elysium" page.

The easiest way: let a dapp add it
Most Elysium apps add the network for you. On Titan Locker, pick Elysium in the network switcher and your wallet asks to add and switch to chain 99901 in one prompt — no copying of RPC URLs. Check the chain ID in that prompt reads 99901 and the symbol reads HYPE before you approve.
Add Elysium to MetaMask or Rabby manually
- Open your wallet's network settings and choose Add a network manually.
- Network name: Elysium (or Elysium Testnet).
- Chain ID: 99901 for mainnet, 99801 for testnet.
- Currency symbol: HYPE.
- RPC URL: the official URL from Kinetiq's Connecting page, or your own provider endpoint (Alchemy, QuickNode, Chainstack, Conduit and others).
- Block explorer: the official explorer from the same page. For testnet in MetaMask, Chainstack recommends Conduit's explorer (explorer-elysium-testnet.t.conduit.xyz) because it uses /tx/ paths.
RPC providers for Elysium
Kinetiq names Alchemy as the primary RPC provider, live on mainnet from day one, and also lists Conduit, Hypedexer, Chainstack, QuickNode, Minecurve and InfraSingularity. The public testnet RPC is shared and has no WebSocket, so use a provider endpoint for anything in production.
Don't add the wrong Elysium
- VulcanForged's unrelated Elysium uses chain IDs 1339 (mainnet) and 1338 (testnet) with PYR/LAVA gas. Chain registries that show “Elysium” with those IDs mean that chain.
- viem's built-in elysiumTestnet export is the VulcanForged testnet (1338), not Kinetiq's — define Elysium yourself.
- Elysium's official account warned on 23 October 2026 about unofficial tools and scams. Never add a network from a link in a DM or a “claim” page.
- If a prompt shows a chain ID other than 99901 (mainnet) or 99801 (testnet), or a gas token other than HYPE, reject it.
