GRVT is a new type of crypto asset derivatives exchange that combines the user-friendliness of a centralized exchange (CEX) with the security of a decentralized exchange (DEX). It utilizes ZK technology, allowing users to trade quickly and securely while maintaining self-custody of their assets. Specializing in derivatives trading such as perpetual futures and options, it also offers a bridge feature that enables gas-free asset transfers between different blockchains.

GRVT has raised a total of $14.3 million through multiple rounds with lead investors including FURTHER, Matrixport, and Delphi Digital. Most recently, it has secured $5 million in funding from Further Ventures, an Abu Dhabi-based capital market infrastructure investment firm.

What is GRVT: A Compliant CeDeFi Derivatives Exchange

GRVT is a project with a grand vision to redesign finance on the blockchain, aiming to become the "world's first compliant and licensed DEX." Its mission is to build a "True CeDeFi" platform that fuses the reliability and regulatory compliance of Traditional Finance (TradFi) with the transparency and self-custody of Decentralized Finance (DeFi). It aims to challenge the dominance of CEXs and bridge DeFi into the mainstream financial system.

Technical Features: Validium and Elastic Network on zkSync

GRVT employs a technology called "Validium," powered by zkSync, to achieve its high performance and privacy.

What is Validium?
Validium is a type of Layer 2 scaling solution that, like zkRollups, uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify the validity of transactions. However, while zkRollups record transaction data (in a compressed form) on-chain (e.g., on Ethereum), Validium manages transaction data off-chain. Data availability is typically ensured by a trusted third-party committee (Data Availability Committee, DAC).

Benefits of Validium

1. High Scalability: By not placing data on-chain, it can potentially achieve even higher scalability (lower costs, higher throughput) than zkRollups. GRVT aims for CEX-level performance with this scalability.
2. Privacy: Since transaction data is off-chain, transaction details cannot be directly viewed from the on-chain, which is advantageous for privacy protection. This is why GRVT is touted as "Privacy-focused."

Elastic Network
GRVT describes this as "Validium on an Elastic Network," suggesting it may combine a proprietary network architecture or data availability solution. This is likely how it ensures scalability, privacy, and the flexibility to meet compliance requirements.

Focus on Compliance and Licensing

The fact that GRVT emphasizes being "compliant and licensed" sets it apart from many other DEXs. This is a key strategy to attract institutional investors and users who prioritize regulation, and to facilitate a smooth integration with TradFi. While specifics about the types of licenses, jurisdictions, and compliance frameworks are expected to be revealed later, it will likely incorporate processes like KYC/AML (Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering). Through this approach, GRVT aims to combine the convenience of DeFi with the trust of TradFi, targeting a broader user base.

Vision and Mission: Redesigning Finance

GRVT is more than just a derivatives exchange; it holds a grand vision to redesign the financial system itself using blockchain technology.

• Vision: Redesigning Finance
• Mission:
  
  1. Build a hybrid, compliant, and scalable ecosystem.
     
  2. Bridge the gap to bring DeFi into mainstream finance.
     
  3. Challenge the dominance of CEXs.
     

This vision and mission indicate that GRVT is considering not only technological innovation but also integration with the existing financial system and cooperation with regulatory authorities.
