GRVT (Gravity) is one of the loudest novelties of 2026, which evolved from a hybrid derivatives exchange (PerpDEX) into a full on-chain brokerage platform for capital management.
The project successfully implements the concept of «Unified Margin», which blurs the boundary between DeFi and TradFi using artificial intelligence and advanced cryptographic technologies.
Key technological features and GRVT architecture:
Hybrid model (CeDeFi): The platform uses off-chain order matching (speed up to 600,000 TPS and latency under 2 ms), but all settlement and clearing are performed on-chain using ZK proofs (zero-knowledge) on its own zkSync Validium Appchain. This delivers Binance-level speed, but with full self-custody of assets.
Maximum capital efficiency (Every Dollar Does More): Users don’t need to keep funds tied up for different purposes. A single deposit (for example, in stablecoins) simultaneously generates passive income in DeFi protocols (such as Aave Savings with an integration of $sGHO) and also serves as collateral (margin) for active trading or investments.
Four-tier ecosystem (Earn, Trade, Invest, Pay): The platform offers trading in crypto futures, tokenized real-world assets (RWA—gold, oil, stocks), as well as launching AI- and quantum-strategy-managed investment smart pools (Vaults).
Current status and token launch (Relevant as of July 2026).
The project attracted over $33 million in investment from top funds (Delphi Ventures, Matrix Partners, Hack VC, Matter Labs). As of July 2026, the platform is showing explosive growth: daily trading volume exceeds $1.3–$1.5 billion.
