GRVT

GRVT is a hybrid cryptocurrency exchange that combines features of both centralized (CeFi) and decentralized (DeFi) platforms. It operates as a regulated, self-custodial centralized exchange (CEX), where user funds are held on blockchain-secured smart contracts, ensuring users retain full control over their assets. This model aims to mitigate counterparty risk, a significant concern in the crypto space.

The platform offers perpetual contracts with USDT as collateral and has recorded a total trading volume exceeding $8 billion. Its technical infrastructure is built on a hybrid architecture, processing and matching trades off-chain for speed and efficiency, while guaranteeing execution on-chain through smart contracts. This system is powered by Matter Labs' Elastic Chain technology.

GRVT targets traders looking for a secure and seamless experience that bridges the gap between traditional finance and decentralized innovation. The business model focuses on providing a compliant and trustless trading environment, attracting users by offering the security of self-custody with the user experience of a centralized exchange.
