# Kinetiq review: Trust Score 63/100 (Mixed)

Source page: https://vaultx.llc/reviews/kinetiq · independent VaultX review by Rex · updated 2026-10-30

Shipping Hyperliquid project near record highs, but team is partly anonymous and audits unverified

Kinetiq is a Hyperliquid-native protocol that began with HYPE liquid staking and has since added products such as Launch and a Layer 2 called Elysium. Its KNTQ governance token launched on 27 November 2025, and its listed milestones in 2026 appear to have been reached. The research found no regulator warnings, lawsuits, hacks or documented withdrawal problems. Against that, one founder is pseudonymous, no incorporation jurisdiction was found, and no independent audit report was in the sources. KNTQ is also trading near all-time highs after a roughly 20% drop around 1 October, and user-review evidence is thin.
