Helios Token $HLS Now Available on Major Exchanges
Helios, a Layer 1 blockchain designed for cross‑chain finance, has launched its $HLS token on major cryptocurrency exchanges. This move allows broader participation in the Helios ecosystem as the network continues to develop.
$HLS Now Available on Major Exchanges
At launch, $HLS is available for trading on several centralized exchanges, including KuCoin, BingX, MEXC, Weex, and LBank. This initial availability aims to provide global access and liquidity as Helios progresses toward its full mainnet launch.
Phased Launch Strategy
The $HLS token is initially introduced as an ERC‑20 token on Ethereum and Arbitrum, aligning with Helios’ current Mainnet Beta phase. This approach leverages established infrastructure and liquidity while development continues on its Layer‑1 blockchain. The Helios Mainnet is scheduled to launch in Q1 2026, at which point $HLS will become native to the Helios chain. Users will be able to bridge $HLS to Helios Mainnet via Hyperion, Helios’ cross‑chain execution modules designed for seamless interoperability.
Strong Financial Backing
Helios has secured $19 million in total funding to date. This includes a $15 million commitment from Bolts Capital for long‑term strategic backing and $4 million raised through launchpads, reflecting strong community interest and demand ahead of the token generation event (TGE).
Next Steps for Helios
Following the TGE, Helios will focus on expanding network functionality and onboarding users and developers. Near‑term priorities include operating the Helios Mainnet Beta with supervised validators, activating incentive programs, and continuing development toward a full permissionless mainnet in Q1 2026. Looking ahead, Helios is developing Forge, an application for creating and minting on‑chain ETFs, along with automation and AI‑driven portfolio strategies.
