Elysium launchpads compared: where to launch meme coins on the Hyperliquid L2
8 min read · Updated October 27, 2026
Elysium, the Hyperliquid L2 from Kinetiq, goes live on November 9, 2026, and launchpads are already lining up. This guide lists every launchpad we could find building on Elysium before mainnet, how each launches a coin and what to check before you use one. If you are new to the chain, start with what is Elysium.
Which launchpads are on Elysium?
| Launchpad | How a coin starts | Status (Oct 27, 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| BunnyPad | Fair launch: the coin is created in one transaction with its whole supply locked in a HYPE pool; no presale, no bonding curve | Live on testnet |
| Chainzy | Token factory with Uniswap V3 liquidity, a liquidity locker and buybacks; also a Hyperliquid trading and discovery hub | Live on testnet |
| PerpMe | Listed as a launchpad in Elysium's testnet ecosystem | Live on testnet |
| Montra | Launchpad | Committed to mainnet |
| Citadel | Launchpad | Committed to mainnet |
| sasa | Launch from a USDC balance with email login; HYPE, gas and bridging handled in the background | Preparing, opens with mainnet |
Curve or no curve: why it matters
On a bonding curve, the price follows a formula and the coin moves into a pool only when it graduates. On a direct pool launch, like BunnyPad's, the coin trades in a locked pool from the first second. Direct pools show up on screeners and bots immediately, which suits a new chain where everyone is looking for fresh coins. Curves give early buyers a predictable price but can leave a coin stuck before graduation.
How to choose an Elysium launchpad
- Liquidity: is it locked, and can you verify the lock on the explorer? See locked liquidity explained.
- Fees: what does each trade cost, and how much goes to you as the creator? Compare with meme coin launchpad fees.
- Visibility: does the launchpad's front page show new coins, and do screeners pick up its pools?
- Funding: do you need HYPE on Elysium, or can you launch from another asset or balance?
- Track record: is the team known, are the contracts verified, has it run on testnet without problems?
Where does sasa fit?
sasa is a multi-chain launchpad and trading app: you keep one USDC balance and launch or trade coins on Base, BNB Chain, Robinhood Chain, Arc and Solana with an email login, no gas tokens needed. For Elysium, sasa is preparing single-chain launches that take your first buy in USDC and handle HYPE and bridging for you, opening with Elysium's mainnet. If you already hold HYPE on Elysium, a native Elysium launchpad is just as good a choice; sasa is aimed at people who do not want to manage HYPE and bridges.
