#grvt I’m digging deeper into GRVT because the topic of self-custody is more relevant than ever. The classic trader’s dilemma: CEX offers speed and liquidity, but counterparty risk (FTX — the best lesson we all got for free). DEX gives control, but often loses out on execution speed and UX. @grvt_io is trying to bridge this gap through zk architecture — trades execute quickly, and assets don’t get taken out of the user’s control.
Advice to colleagues: before trusting any exchange with a significant portion of your portfolio, check not only the marketing, but the basics — is there an independent audit of the smart contracts, how the withdrawals mechanism is actually designed, and whether it has been tested on small amounts. The hybrid model sounds appealing, but “trust, and verify” remains the main rule even in 2026.
