The DEX on Elysium
One decentralized exchange for the Hyperliquid ecosystem — swap at the market, earn from the pools, launch a token, and let ladder orders climb to your price. Gas in HYPE, keys in your hands.
Built on Elysium
Ladder lives on Elysium, Kinetiq's Arbitrum Orbit L2 built to accelerate Hyperliquid. Every quote comes straight from pool reserves, every action is signed by your own wallet, every result lands on a public explorer.
Ladder in the Climb
Trading has a predictable path: connect, fund, swap, provide, launch, climb. Most traders stall on one rung because each step lives in a different app. Ladder puts every rung in one place.
One Ecosystem, Not Separate Apps
Swap, liquidity and memecoin launches — one connected lifecycle on one chain, through one interface. Not separate tools that never talk to each other.
Swap · LP · Memecoin Launchpad
Step into any one of them — they all feed the same core. A memecoin launched on Ladder graduates into a Ladder pool, trades on Ladder Swap, and earns in Ladder Earn.
The Comparison
Fragmented tools mean fragmented liquidity. Ladder keeps the whole flow — from first swap to launched token — under one roof, on the chain built for it.

Roadmap
Ladder's AMM contracts — Factory, Router, WHYPE routing — live on Elysium Testnet, with swap, liquidity and the memecoin launchpad open in the app.
In Progress · LiveThe namesake feature: multi-rung limit orders that split one trade across a staircase of prices and fill gradually as the market moves through each level.
NextLadder follows Elysium to mainnet on 9 November 2026, carrying the same interface and pool model over to real assets — with aggregator routing across the chain's deepest pools.

Questions
Ladder is a decentralized exchange on Elysium. It combines a classic AMM for instant swaps and liquidity pools with a memecoin launchpad and ladder-style limit orders — one order spread across several price levels, filling step by step. The rollout is phased: swaps, liquidity and the memecoin launchpad first; ladder orders follow in Phase 02.
On Elysium, Kinetiq's Arbitrum Orbit L2 for the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Ladder runs on Elysium Testnet today (chain ID 99801, gas token HYPE) and moves to mainnet when Elysium mainnet launches on 9 November 2026.
Use the official Elysium faucet. It requires the claiming wallet to hold a balance on HyperEVM or Hyperliquid mainnet. You can also bridge HYPE from HyperEVM testnet, where it converts 1:1.
Every swap pays a 0.3% fee. That fee stays in the pool and is shared by liquidity providers in proportion to their LP share, so a position grows with trading volume. Liquidity can be withdrawn at any time.
At mainnet, yes — through routing, not by moving liquidity. Ladder Earn's aggregator framework registers other Elysium venues once their routers are public, compares quotes across them, and routes each trade to the deepest pool. Liquidity always stays in its home pool; Ladder is the doorway.
No and no. Ladder currently runs on testnet only, where tokens have no monetary value, and the contracts have not been audited. Use a wallet that holds nothing of value, and never treat testnet activity as financial advice.

Grab testnet HYPE from the faucet, connect your wallet, and take your first step on Elysium. Swap at market, seed a pool, or wait for the ladder to come to you.
