Stake once. Never pay gas again.
Deposit HYPE. It’s staked into kHYPE. The yield pays your gas on every Elysium dApp — your principal stays yours.
The three frictions
Elysium uses HYPE as its gas token.
Every tx burns an asset you want to hold.
New wallets arrive with 0 HYPE and can't move.
HYPE sitting on Elysium earns nothing.
How it works
Ichor turns the three frictions into one action.
- 01
Deposit
Deposit HYPE once.
- 02
Staked into kHYPE
Ichor stakes it into kHYPE, Kinetiq’s liquid-staked HYPE.
- 03
Yield accrues
Your principal and its yield are tracked separately.
- 04
Gas paid by yield
Every transaction’s gas comes out of the yield.
If yield runs out, nothing happens to your principal unless you turn on Vein.
Example — mainnet assumptions, not testnet data
10 HYPE ≈ unlimited gas, without ever losing the 10 HYPE.
| Stake | kHYPE yield ~2.5%/yr | Tx cost ~$0.003 | “Free” tx / year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 HYPE (~$200) | ~$5 | ~$0.003 | ~1,600 |
| 10 HYPE (~$400) | ~$10 | ~$0.003 | ~3,300 |
| 50 HYPE (~$2,000) | ~$50 | ~$0.003 | ~16,000 |
Assumptions: HYPE $40, kHYPE 2.5% APR, Elysium L2 tx ≈ $0.003. These are illustrations, not promises.
Drip
Sponsor gas for your users.
Set a budget, a target contract and a per-wallet cap. New users see ‘gas offered by <your app>’.

$ICHOR
The token of the protocol.
$ICHOR is the token of the protocol. It is not launched. There is no contract address. Anything claiming to be $ICHOR today is not ours. Launch details will be announced only on our X account.
What the token does, once it exists:
- The protocol fee (10% of yield spent on gas and 10% of Drip budgets) is used entirely to buy $ICHOR on the open market, in the spirit of Hyperliquid’s Assistance Fund and Elysium’s own KNTQ buy-and-burn.
- Staking $ICHOR removes the protocol fee: gas at cost.
- No governance, no points, no KYC.
$ICHOR is not launched. No CA.
