Kinetiq and fomo

Why a HYPE staking protocol shows up on a map of the fomo app, and where its relevance stops.

Updated Fact-checked November 10, 2026 4 sources
Short answer

Kinetiq is a liquid-staking protocol for HYPE, Hyperliquid's token, and the builder of Elysium, the layer-2 that fomo's help centre now lists as its eighth chain. fomo does not document any Kinetiq product inside the app; the link is the chain.

What Kinetiq is

Kinetiq is a liquid-staking protocol on Hyperliquid: you deposit HYPE, it is staked with Hyperliquid’s validators, and you receive kHYPE, a token you can still trade or use while the HYPE behind it earns staking rewards. Kinetiq also built Elysium, which its docs describe as “an Arbitrum Orbit Layer 2 that settles to HyperEVM and uses HYPE as its native gas token”, with a mainnet launch set for November 9, 2026.

How it connects to fomo

Only through Elysium. fomo’s help centre lists Elysium among its eight supported chains, and Bankless reported that Elysium called fomo its “exclusive trading partner” without saying what that covers. fomo does not document kHYPE, Kinetiq’s other products, or any staking feature in the app.

Everything a fomo user needs to know about the chain itself, including what is and is not verified, is on the Elysium page. This page is kept short on purpose and is not indexed.

JomoBench is independent and not run by fomo. How we check facts.
