Ascend is the launchpad for Elysium’s next generation of projects.
Our responsibility extends beyond launch day.
We think the protocol token model is broken
Platform revenue can grow while the projects generating it lose liquidity and momentum. Constant rotation keeps the business earning without requiring individual projects to succeed.
A protocol token adds more liquidity fragmentation. Buying it back directs revenue toward the platform’s token rather than directly supporting the projects generating those fees.
We are rebuilding the launchpad model around continued investment in builders and the ecosystem.
Our revenue model funds creator payouts, buybacks and liquidity support for qualifying projects, and $HYPE and kinetiq:native buybacks. The activity projects generate on Ascend create the resources to support their continued growth.
Those who support us early and consistently won't go unnoticed. Hyperliquid community, this is the part of Ascend we’ve been waiting to show you.
Our upcoming NFT collection introduces that part of Ascend.
Free mint. 500 Ascend NFTs. Three tiers.
The collection is being designed around enhanced participation in Ascend. Those who hold these will receive upside in the success of our protocol, in the form of ███████████████.
We will set aside WL for KNTQ & HYPE holders, early Ascend supporters, Hypurr NFT's, Hyperliquid communities, partners, and builders.

Congrats to @Enter_Elysium on testnet going live!
We're spending testnet working with teams building for Elysium mainnet: getting launches ready, and planning what happens after launch day rather than just up to it.
What launching with Ascend gets you:
• Up to 50% of trading fees
• Continuous buybacks and liquidity support after launch
• No Ascend token competing with yours
• A path to HyperCore spot, then HIP-3 perps through Kinetiq
• Much more benefits for builders, details TBA closer to mainnet
Most launchpads collect fees and move on. We put ours back into the projects that earn them.
If you're building on Elysium, come launch on Ascend, the sustainable launchpad for Hyperliquid. DMs are open.
