Elysium is a blockchain whose native token is PYR. It aims to be compatible with Ethereum's EVM and Web3 API, so Ethereum-style wallets and developer tools should carry over. Its documentation also lists differences from Ethereum that builders need to understand. We have not confirmed consensus or scaling details here, so check the official docs for those. The name is also used by other projects, including a Hyperliquid-focused Layer 2 from Kinetiq, and this page does not cover those.
Fees on Elysium come from a dynamic mechanism: the base fee adjusts with block congestion, so costs rise when the network is busy and ease off when it is quiet. PYR is the chain's native token, and it is also linked to the Vulcan Forged ecosystem. The Elysium Forges staking system, for example, lets users stake Vulcan Forged PYR to earn LAVA.
The on-chain DeFi footprint is very small. At the time of writing, DeFi TVL is about $368, and we list just 3 dApps. The main one is Elysium Bridge, the canonical bridge for moving supported tokens between Elysium, Ethereum and Polygon, with about $20,623 in TVL at the time of writing. Treat any bridge as a smart-contract risk and test with a small amount first.
