The story

  1. Elysium · HyperEVM. Day one on Ascend. A new chain. A new launchpad. One empty office.
  2. The deploy. One intern. One token. The first ever launched on Ascend.
  3. The disappearance. Then he never came back. No roadmap. No team. Just a token left on the desk.
  4. Community takeover. So we did. Taken over, rebuilt, and run by the holders.
