About GRVT

GRVT is the only exchange architected on its own yield-generating, tokenized deposit layer — where every dollar is instantly transformed into a productive, yield-bearing asset. Capital compounds continuously across trading, investing, and spending, without ever leaving self-custody or going idle.

Where traditional exchanges force a tradeoff between yield generation and capital deployment, GRVT eliminates that constraint entirely. Tokenized deposits function simultaneously as margin, yield instruments, and liquidity primitives — compounding across the full lifecycle of capital, from fiat on-ramp to perpetuals trading, institutional vaults, and real-world spending.

Built on a dedicated privacy chain powered by zkSync Prividium, GRVT delivers CEX-grade performance with on-chain settlement — fully self-custodial by design. The company is founded by alumni from Goldman Sachs, Meta, and DBS.
