What is Gravity?
Gravity is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed for real-world adoption and an omnichain future. It combines scalability, decentralization, instant finality, and interoperability with sustainable economics to meet the demands of modern decentralized ecosystems.
For developers, Gravity enables scalable, omnichain application development. For users, it offers ultra-fast transactions with near-instant confirmations, bridging the usability of web2 with the capabilities of web3.
Let’s break down the core components of Gravity.
- Scalability and Performance: With 1 gigagas per second throughput, Gravity supports resource-intensive applications without compromising speed or capacity, ensuring the network evolves alongside growing demand.
- Uninterrupted User Experience: Sub-second finality provides near-instant transaction speeds, combining the efficiency of centralized systems with the security of decentralization.
- Enhanced Security: Restaking protocols, including EigenLayer and Babylon, deliver enterprise-grade security while maintaining scalability, ensuring reliability and resilience for long-term adoption.
Gravity roadmap
Since the launch of Gravity Alpha Mainnet in August 2024, the network has processed over 275 million transactions, with a daily average of 2.6 million. Additionally, more than 30 million G has been transacted on gas fees, highlighting the growing volume and efficiency of the network as it scales to meet increasing demand.
Upcoming roadmap
- Devnet Phase 1: A real-time performance testing phase.
- Longevity Testnet: Focused on ensuring long-term network stability before the transition to the mainnet.
- Gravity Mainnet Transition: The move from Gravity Alpha Mainnet to a fully operational Gravity Mainnet, preparing for broader adoption of decentralized technologies with high performance.
Build on Gravity
Gravity invites developers, users, and enterprises to leverage its scalable, secure, and high-performance ecosystem for the next phase of web3 evolution.
We’re gearing up to introduce a suite of powerful tools designed to redefine blockchain development and interoperability:
- Gravity Chain: A high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed for the future of omnichain interoperability and mass adoption.
- Gravity SDK: An open-source toolkit for building high-performance blockchains with pipelined architecture.
- Gravity Reth: An open-source EVM execution layer optimised for pipelined consensus engines, enhancing scalability and performance.
- Grevm (Gravity EVM): A parallel EVM runtime designed for faster smart contract execution and improved efficiency.
- Gravity Intent Protocol: A next-generation protocol enabling cross-chain interactions and unlocking new possibilities for decentralized ecosystems.
Detailed content on these tools will be shared soon. Stay connected through our official channels for the latest updates as Gravity continues to evolve.
