The wealth effect of kinetiq:native is about to begin, sparking an onchain movement similar to when Solana generated a wealth effect and started a multi-year onchain bull run.
Some of the best times of trenching were during the Solana wealth effect era. When it had ran from $8 to $290 over 2 years, onchain flourished incredibly well and many traders were able to achieve generational wealth.
We are seeing the same exact setup on kinetiq:native, and have built @AscendLaunch the most participant-aligned launchpad, built on Elysium, the value-accretive L2.
For the first time, an L2 and its leading launchpad are aligned around growing ecosystem value rather than extracting it.
We have positioned the premier launchpad as value-accretive to the entire Elysium ecosystem, from the foundation ($HYPE) to the Layer 2 (kinetiq:native) and finally to participants on our launchpad (traders, stakers, and builders).
Rather than develop a launchpad token, we have chosen to adopt kinetiq:native as our protocol token, and have made major improvements to our tokenomics upping our KNTQ buybacks to 80% of protocol fees going into buying KNTQ, burning it, and deploying it strategically.
This, paired with 50% of Elysium sequencer fees going to buying back and burning kinetiq:native makes the setup extremely asymmetrical.
We believe that if kinetiq:native does well, so will onchain, which will mean that Ascend does well making our participants have an even stronger flywheel. KNTQ does well -> Elysium does well -> Ascend does well -> Traders, builders, stakers do well -> KNTQ does well. This is the flywheel and wealth effect we expect to see with kinetiq:native.
The problem: Traditional launchpads extract liquidity through competing protocol tokens, fees that leave the ecosystem, and little sustained demand for launched tokens.
Our solution: No protocol token. Instead, Ascend has adopted kinetiq:native as our protocol token. 90% of Ascend protocol fees buy back KNTQ (80%) and HYPE (20%). The remaining 10% is the team treasury.
Staking: Users stake HYPE via kHYPE on Ascend, directing yield toward ecosystem token buybacks while earning four reward streams: HYPE, ecosystem tokens, KNTQ, and boosted DEX referral fees.
20% HYPE allocation:
- 50% Staker rewards
- 50% Protocol-owned staked HYPE on Ascend
80% KNTQ allocation:
- 40% Burnt
- 60% deployed strategically across ecosystem token buybacks, Ascend points program, protocol-owned KNTQ LP across Ascend token pools + kHYPE
- Traders: No competing protocol token extracting liquidity from their positions. Ecosystem buybacks from protocol fees + staking yield.
- Tokens: Recurring buybacks funded by protocol fees and staker yield. Supported LP depth from Ascend treasury.
- Builders: No launchpad token competing for liquidity, grants, launches with dedicated buyback support through Ascended listings, and a growth path to HyperCore spot and HIP-3 perps facilitated by Kinetiq's HIP-3 Perps DEX, as well as rev share from Ascend via our Strategic Partnerships.
- Stakers: Multiple reward streams while supporting ecosystem growth.
Unlocking new capital: Rather than recycling the same liquidity across Solana, Base, and Robinhood, Ascend gives HYPE holders a way to deploy sidelined capital into new ecosystem launches.
The Elysium advantage: While other L2s retain sequencer revenue, Elysium directs 50% toward KNTQ buybacks and 25% toward builders.
Ascend commits 100% of its sequencer-fee allocation to grants for builders launching on Ascend, creating a powerful incentive to build on Elysium instead of competing ecosystems such as Base & Robinhood.
The scale: At $5M/month in Elysium sequencer fees, a 10% allocation to Ascend would generate $500K/month in builder incentives, funding grants, HyperCore spot listings, AMM liquidity, etc.
For reference, Robinhood generated $14M in sequencer fees in a 30-day period, while Base generated approximately $75m in a 1 year period.
Further, the buyback effect of a top launchpad on HYPE, KNTQ, and ecosystem tokens are significant.
In September, the 30d total of fees generated across top launchpads: PUMP ($165M), PONS ($132M), Flap ($41M), Stonkfun ($27M). At scale, Ascend would contribute mid 6-figures to low 7-figures of daily buybacks to HYPE & KNTQ.
The vision: Make Ascend the obvious place to build, trade, and stake. Stakers are the backbone of Ascend, and will receive many benefits of the protocol's success with many rev shares in place.
Builders are attracted by grants, sustained buyback support, a clear path to HyperCore spot and HIP-3 Perps through Kinetiq, and eventually becoming an Ascend Strategic Partner.
Traders are attracted by PVE tokenomics where protocol activity strengthens the ecosystem instead of extracting from it.
Together, these create a flywheel: better incentives attract better builders, better launches attract more traders, and more activity drives even greater buyback support and ecosystem growth.

i think some of the biggest opportunities around Hyperliquid over the next few years could come from the applications built on top of it
equity perps are particularly interesting to me. Hyperliquid is heavily focused on infrastructure, which leaves room for teams to build better mobile trading experiences and gamified front ends
i'm also watching Kinetiq and its upcoming Elysium L2
HyperEVM has struggled to attract significant activity, and a faster execution environment could create new opportunities for developers and applications across the ecosystem
i expect the next phase of competition around Hyperliquid to be increasingly focused on the user experience
lowhash.hl retweeted
Okay the kinetiq:native bull case is getting kinda hilarious at this point
The reflexivity of the @AscendLaunch flywheel is hard to overstate.
By directing so much value accrual at $KNTQ, they stoke the very same wealth effect that the $SOL ecosystem had when there used to be real runners during the $9>$200 $SOL runup.
The most egalitarian thing I've ever seen. It's insanely ambitious, and if it works, it can reshape the fabric of the trenches.
lowhash.hl retweeted
Not owning KNTQ is like not owning HYPE when it TGE’d and everyone was talking about it in 2024
Fomo & Pumpfun app supporting @Enter_Elysium will make it extremely accessible to traders that HyperEVM never had access to.
With @AscendLaunch as a leading launchpad, it's our responsibility to make sure volume is sustainable, hence us giving back a huge portion of our protocol fees to traders, stakers, builders, and coins launched on Ascend.
We want to make onchain great again, and us adopting kinetiq:native as our protocol token will generate a wealth effect for onchain similar to when $SOL had ran from $8 to $290.
Ascend to Elysium.

1/ Hyperliquid generated $716M in revenue over the last 12 months and is growing rapidly.
One protocol runs the largest liquid-staking token on the chain, runs a perp/spot exchange on top of it, and plans to launch Hyperliquid's first L2.
A thread on $KNTQ 🧵
lowhash.hl retweeted
Great analysis by @CamKhosravi on kinetiq:native here, very in line with my own price model
At $0.30, kinetiq:native is either a slightly overpriced LST/ $HYPE beta play or a massively underpriced $HYPE L2 ecosystem play with half a dozen lines of revenue.
Risking ~50% downside for 5x+ upside, can't really ask for a better asymmetric bet than that.
12/ So what's it worth?
Kinetiq already earns real money and spends it buying its own token, and potentially the largest source hasn’t launched yet.
If Elysium lands anywhere near Base, the race between the buyback and the unlock stops being close. Bullish Elysium and $KNTQ.
lowhash.hl retweeted
kntq is prioritized in every part of the stack:
> 100% kntq trading fees burned
> 70% rev
> lion’s share launch + markets rev
> struck deal with validators to funnel more value to kntq from delegated stake
> elysium + projs like ascend
most other teams with such a strong moat on stake would cash out upfront, stop innovating, and watch the chart suppressed eternally, like every ‘good project + bad tokenomics’ situation we’ve seen in defi. Only now are some of those projects becoming investable.
KNTQ traded down as low as ~4c. If you only used your cash to farm kntq for free tokens while neglecting to buy any at depressed valuations, there may be some skill issue involved

A little over 1 day into this, it’s vital to set the record straight:
The communication about this claim could’ve been way better and for that, I take full responsibility.
The allocation is now >41% claimed in a single day (fully unlocked, no vest), this tells us that even despite the thousands of pundits today, participants have been extremely receptive to the long term oriented mechanics of this program.
This was never publicly disclosed, as there’s been no point to it for over a year, but Kinetiq received a $20m term sheet at $250m ($0.25) last year prior to KNTQ genesis.
That sounds great on paper, until you realize that this would’ve essentially crushed the public economic value of the project, by creating ridiculously predatory vesting schedules that would’ve made Kinetiq (KNTQ) un-investable for years to come, which is the bane of the existence of essentially every other protocol in our singular category at the time.
This would’ve been an unacceptable outcome to us, hence swiftly declined. Proof? Ask @wassielawyer who was kind enough to personally review each term sheet.
Instead, we chose to follow through on the precedent Hyperliquid set by distributing 25% of the protocol after what was likely the shortest points program ever.
You may feel that your trust in Kinetiq and our team was misplaced, but we’ve followed through on everything we said we would, and will continue to do so - whether you’re here or not.
Regardless of how you felt about today, I (we) appreciate all of your commentary. The good, the bad, the ugly.
The mission remains unchanged, and the vision ever more clear.
The final kPoints have now been distributed.
Your kPoints now allow you to claim KNTQ.
