Hybrid crypto exchange GRVT to debut as first 'hyperchain' in zkSync ecosystemHyperchains are custom blockchains that will run either as Layer 2 networks parallel to zkSync Era or as Layer 3 Validiums in the zkSync ecosystem.

GRVT is a hybrid crypto exchange built on zkSync that was set to debut as the first hyperchain in the zkSync ecosystem, using custom blockchain infrastructure rather than operating as a standard standalone appchain. In zkSync terms, hyperchains are custom blockchains that can run either as Layer 2 networks parallel to zkSync Era or as Layer 3 Validiums within the broader ecosystem. The story matters because it shows zkSync positioning its technology as a base layer for specialized trading infrastructure, while GRVT uses that stack to combine centralized-exchange style speed with decentralized self-custody and transparency. GRVT is described as a ZK-powered hybrid exchange focused on perpetual futures and institutional-grade trading, and public project descriptions say it was founded in 2022, later launched testnets, and reached mainnet alpha after raising venture funding and obtaining a Bermuda digital asset license.
