ROPES is going to mainnet
Elysium, Kinetiq's Hyperliquid L2, goes live on Nov 9, 2026. ROPES has run on its testnet since Oct 18: one minute of HYPE, on a rope, every round checked against Hyperliquid.
Counting to the start of Nov 9, 2026 UTC. Elysium sets the exact hour.

What works today
What doesn't work yet
- Real USDC (testnet uses tUSDC, which has no value)
- Per-player custody (testnet stakes sit in a pooled house wallet)
- A published security review
- Keeper-free prices through the HyperCore precompile
- $ROPES (not launched; nothing you see today is ours)
