What Is Grvt ($GRVT) and How Does It Work?

Crypto users have long had to choose between exchange speed and control of their funds.

GRVT, pronounced “gravity,” takes a different route: it combines a fast trading interface with on-chain settlement, self-custody, and a single balance for earning, investing, and trading.

Its native GRVT token extends that model into platform membership, fee benefits, and community rewards.

What is GRVT?

GRVT is a hybrid crypto exchange and on-chain wealth platform built with ZKsync technology. It matches orders through a high-speed off-chain engine, then uses zero-knowledge proofs and on-chain settlement to verify activity. Users can access spot markets, perpetual futures, yield products, and selected investments from one account instead of moving funds between separate services.

GRVT's platform is organized around four functions: Trade, Earn, Invest, and Pay.

The same balance can support trading while eligible assets continue to earn yield.

This self-custodial crypto exchange model is designed to give users a familiar trading experience without making the platform the sole holder of their assets.

How does GRVT work?

GRVT is built on an Ethereum Layer 2 developed with the ZKsync ZK Stack. Off-chain order matching helps reduce the delay and cost associated with processing every order directly on Ethereum. Settlement data is then verified on-chain, while zero-knowledge technology helps keep trading activity from being publicly exposed in full.

The platform’s “one-balance” design is its main idea. Users may use supported assets as trading collateral, access yield-bearing products, or explore managed investment strategies without constantly transferring funds between accounts. GRVT also supports markets linked to crypto, commodities, equities, and other instruments, although derivatives and leveraged products carry substantial risk.

Who created GRVT?

GRVT was founded in 2022 by Hong Yea, Aaron Ong, and Matthew Quek. Their backgrounds span institutional trading, technology infrastructure, blockchain, and payments. The project launched its mainnet in December 2024 and later expanded from perpetual futures into spot trading, savings, investment vaults, and broader wealth-management tools.

The platform also holds a Class M Digital Asset Business license from the Bermuda Monetary Authority. This is a regulatory milestone, not a guarantee against losses, and product availability depends on the user’s jurisdiction.

What is $GRVT's tokenomics?

• Total supply: 1 billion GRVT, with no additional inflation beyond the cap
• Community allocation: 28% of the total supply
• Season 2 rewards: 18% of total supply included in the community reward allocation
• Airdrop pool: 280 million GRVT
• Vesting: Allocations vest over 12 months, with release proportions varying by allocation
• Token format: ERC-20, with distribution support across Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and the GRVT chain
• Main uses: Membership tiers, trading-fee benefits, margin advantages, platform tools, and access to selected products

GRVT is designed as a utility and membership token rather than an equity asset. Holding it does not represent ownership of GRVT or a guaranteed share of protocol revenue.

Users can qualify for membership benefits by staking GRVT, with the required amount depending on the selected tier.

What is $GRVT used for?

The token $GRVT connects platform activity with membership benefits. Depending on the tier, users may receive lower trading fees, improved margin terms, access to advanced tools, and enhanced conditions across Earn, Invest, Trade, and Pay products. Community members also earned $GRVT through reward seasons based on activities such as trading, holding, referrals, and liquidity provision.

This gives the $GRVT token utility and membership benefits beyond simple market speculation, although its value can still be affected by market sentiment, token unlocks, and platform adoption.

How do I manage $GRVT on Cwallet?

Cwallet is now officially launching $GRVT for its users, with support for depositing, withdrawing, sending, and receiving the token. This gives $GRVT holders a convenient way to manage their assets through Cwallet’s secure wallet infrastructure.

After the official launch, users can keep $GRVT alongside other digital assets in one portfolio and transfer it through the supported network. Always confirm the selected network and destination address before sending, especially when moving an ERC-20 token.
