GRVT
GRVT (pronounced "Gravity") is a hybrid decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the ZKsync Validium Layer 2. The platform combines elements of centralized-exchange user experience with self-custodial settlement secured by zero-knowledge proofs. It launched a mainnet alpha in late 2024 and expanded its product scope to include spot and options markets in 2026. [2] [1]
Product History
The mainnet alpha launched in late 2024 on ZKsync. GRVT initially focused on perpetual futures trading and expanded into spot and options markets during 2026. GRVT's spot market testnet went live around April 2026 ahead of a spot mainnet launch targeted around its token generation event (TGE). [2]
Technology and Features
GRVT operates on ZKsync's Validium Layer 2 and uses a Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) model rather than an Automated Market Maker (AMM). The project has claimed high throughput and low latency, with throughput and latency figures attributed to GRVT in reporting. The platform describes itself as self-custodial and offers an optional compliance layer for institutional users to meet KYC/AML requirements. [3] [7]
Regulatory Positioning
GRVT has stated that it is pursuing licensed and regulated onchain exchange status. Reporting indicates GRVT has sought or described plans to pursue a Bermuda crypto business (Class F) license to operate as a DEX, an EU MiCA-related approach, a Dubai VARA license, and an Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) capital markets license.

Product Expansion — "Unified Margin" / "One Balance"
