The ultra-fast parallel EVM Layer 1 blockchain. Delivering 1 gigagas/sec at subsecond finality to over 25M users. Built by @Galxe, governed by @GalxeDAO
Almost two summers ago, we started building in public. On our github https://t.co/HYoT4i0wGD , you can trace the commit history all the way back — the design, the experiments, the walls we ran into (many of them), the rebuilds, and the iterations that followed.
Funny thing is, this period also happened to overlap with the moment when coding agents began to reshape software engineering. You can see that shift: how AI-assisted coding becoming part of how software is built. But even as AI coding agents have become incredibly powerful, building a production-grade blockchain is still not something that can be easily handed off to an “agent.” When it comes to security, stability, and engineering quality, there is almost no room for sloppiness. It remains a precise, serious, and long-term engineering effort.
Gravity stands on the foundation of many great open-source projects. We built on Reth, and we are probably one of the external teams that contributed to its performance optimization. Thank you to the @paradigm@ithacaxyz@gakonst team for their help and recognition. We are also grateful to @Aptos — its elegant design and high-quality code are an important reason Gravity is able to achieve high performance at the consensus layer. @AptosLabs@AveryChing
Today feels like the end of a prologue, and the beginning of the next chapter.
No matter how the market changes, we continue to believe that blockchain itself will be an essential part of the future world. Maybe today most of the attention is on AI, but when agents truly enter every part of life and business, blockchain may become one of the fundamental tools they cannot operate without.
Quicknode will be supporting @Galxe’s Gravity L1 at mainnet launch, bringing reliable infrastructure to builders on one of the fastest EVM chains in the space.
More details coming soon 🌀
Important Security Update:
Our official Discord invite link has changed to https://t.co/kww18ncgGe
The previous invite link (gravitychain) is no longer under our control and leads to an unsafe Discord server. Do not interact with the old link under any circumstances. Only use the new official link.
We’re updating all official Gravity channels to reflect this change. We apologize for the inconvenience.
DepositOS is Live and now supports @GravityChain
Builders on @GravityChain
can integrate DepositOS to handle deposit flows natively, with full multi chain support and private swap capability included out of the box.
Configure once, embed anywhere.
DepositOS handles the routing, swaps, and settlement to your preferred destination across chains.

Important Update for Gravity Node Operators
The Gravity team is pleased to announce that we have adopted the ArbOS 51 (Dia) upgrade on Gravity Alpha Mainnet. This upgrade incorporates key improvements aligned with the Ethereum Fusaka upgrade roadmap: https://t.co/rnk6RoaAai
What's Included:
- Features from the ArbOS 40 (Callisto) upgrade
- Foundation for Permissionless Fault Proofs via the new BoLD dispute protocol
- Clear Path to enabling Native Token Mint/Burn capabilities
- Transaction gas limit cap for more efficient gas usage (EIP-7825)
- Cheaper and more efficient cryptographic operations through updated precompiles and opcode changes
Required Actions:
No action required if you are not running external nodes.
If you or your partners are operating external nodes:
- Upgrade your Nitro node to at least v3.9.3 (v3.9.5 is recommended)
- Ensure the flag --node.staker.enable=false is set in your node configuration
Post Upgrade Notes:
Once the upgrade is complete, your chain’s chainInfo.json file will be updated automatically. We have updated our node setup documentation to reflect these changes.
Please initiate the upgrade as soon as possible; nodes running older versions will be unable to sync the latest blocks.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
OGA is Deepening Ties to the @arbitrum Ecosystem; Nova, @GravityChain, @use_corn, and @plumenetwork Now Live on Router App (https://t.co/ILpMiwhN74)
Router's Open Graph Architecture (OGA) is built for one thing: open, permissionless routing that unifies fragmented liquidity across chains. Today, we're sharing how deeply this vision has taken root in the Arbitrum ecosystem, a family of chains built on the same high-performance foundation.
Arbitrum chains enable tailored customization for specific use cases. These chains inherit Nitro's advanced compression, EVM compatibility, fraud-proof security, and @ethereum settlement. The result is a cohesive stack of scalable, low-cost L2s that share DNA, making crosschain routing more efficient and natural.
The chains we're tapping into right now:
🔗 Arbitrum Nova: The high-throughput AnyTrust chain from the Arbitrum Foundation itself. It delivers massive volume at rock-bottom fees, ideal for gaming, social, and high-frequency apps. Nova routes are now fully live in the app for instant to/from swaps and best-path aggregation.
🔗 @GravityChain (by @Galxe): A chain designed for omnichain identity, quests, loyalty, and mass adoption. Integration brings Galxe's credential tools and user ecosystems into OGA, enabling solvers to route rewards/onboarding flows seamlessly across chains.
🔗 @use_corn: @Bitcoin-DeFi focused L2, with BTCN gas and popCORN incentives. This adds native Bitcoin liquidity to the graph, allowing efficient crosschain BTC plays while leveraging Arbitrum's speed and low costs.
🔗 @plumenetwork: RWA-centric chain for tokenization, compliance, and real-world asset finance. Plume's pools are now accessible via OGA, expanding tokenized opportunities with Arbitrum-grade performance and security.
For users: Better prices and routes pulling from this entire family.
For builders/solvers/platforms: Permissionless access to growing liquidity sources: integrate once, route everywhere in the Arbitrum ecosystem.
Huge respect to the Arbitrum Foundation for building Arbitrum chains in a way that's genuinely enabling builders like us, its momentum and tooling have been key to scaling OGA meaningfully. And shoutout to the teams at Galxe/Gravity, Corn, and Plume: your specialised layers add real color and utility to the graph we're all building.
Head to the app to try Nova (and the others): https://t.co/ILpMiwhN74
If you're already in the Arbitrum world; swapping on Nova, questing on Gravity, farming on Corn, tokenizing on Plume, or building something new come see how OGA makes it all feel connected. It is open by design; we'd love to explore more ways to collaborate and route better together.
What are your thoughts on this Arb-family connectivity? Drop feedback or tag us.
(@ArbitrumDevs@ArbitrumNewsDAO@ARB_Universe)
Galxe expanded in 2025 from a questing platform into a unified growth and distribution stack, spanning token distribution, contributor analytics, subscription tiers, and the Gravity execution layer.
