Self custody
You sign everything
Every swap and deposit is signed by your own wallet. Nothing is custodied, ever.
Serious trades deserve better prices.
Ladder is a decentralized exchange launching on Elysium, the chain Kinetiq built to accelerate Hyperliquid. Swap at the market when you want speed, provide liquidity when you want the fees, and let ladder orders climb to your price when you would rather wait. One interface, three ways up.

Phase 02 · The ladder wayPrice first. Tools evolve. Positions endure.
Clear pricing always comes first. The AMM handles the instant trade, while ladder orders explore further, spreading one decision across many prices so the position stays focused, genuinely useful and built to last.
Built on Elysium, End to end
Elysium is an Arbitrum Orbit Layer 2 created by Kinetiq for the Hyperliquid ecosystem, with HYPE as its gas token. Ladder settles every swap, pool and order on that stack, from wallet signature to explorer receipt.

The Ecosystem Around Ladder
The ladder way
One order, many rungs
Try the idea yourself. Set a total amount and a price range, then split it across rungs. Each step buys the same slice, so your average entry lands in the middle of the range instead of at one risky point.

The Ladder token is $LDR. It is on the way, and its contract address has not been published yet, so no address shared anywhere else is official. When it launches, the verified $LDR address appears right here first.

Roadmap
The climb ahead
Phase 01
In progress
Testnet launch
Ladder's AMM contracts (Factory, Router, WHYPE routing) deploy to Elysium Testnet, with swap and liquidity live in the app for anyone holding testnet HYPE.
Phase 02
Next
Ladder limit orders
The namesake feature: multi-rung limit orders that split a trade across a staircase of prices and fill gradually as the market moves through each level.
Phase 03
Follows Elysium
Mainnet
Ladder follows Elysium to mainnet when Kinetiq launches it, carrying the same interface and the same pools model over to real assets.
Questions
Before you climb
Ladder is a decentralized exchange launching on Elysium. It combines a classic AMM for instant swaps and liquidity pools with ladder style limit orders, where one order is spread across several price levels (rungs) and fills step by step. The rollout is phased: swaps and liquidity come first, ladder orders follow in Phase 02.
On Elysium, Kinetiq's Arbitrum Orbit L2 for the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Ladder starts on Elysium Testnet (chain ID 99801, gas token HYPE) and moves to mainnet when Elysium mainnet launches.
Use the official Elysium faucet. It requires the claiming wallet to hold a balance on HyperEVM or Hyperliquid mainnet. You can also bridge HYPE from HyperEVM testnet, where it converts 1:1.
Every swap pays a 0.3% fee. That fee stays in the pool and is shared by liquidity providers in proportion to their LP share, so your position grows with trading volume. You can withdraw your liquidity at any time.
No and no. Ladder currently runs on testnet only, where tokens have no monetary value, and the contracts have not been audited. Use a wallet that holds nothing of value, and never treat testnet activity as financial advice.
