As 2023 draws to a close, we’re thrilled to look back at a year filled with groundbreaking achievements, paving the way for an even more remarkable 2024.

zkSync Hyperchain’s First Official Appchain

Our proudest moment came when we became the first official appchain on zkSync Hyperchain. This milestone represents a leap in our mission to create an exchange catering to both institutions and retail, focusing on scalability, on-chain data privacy, self-custody, high throughput, and top-tier security.

Funding Goals Surpassed

This year, we celebrated a significant financial milestone: raising over $8 million in pre-seed and seed funding rounds. This achievement reflects the trust our investors have in us, including MatterLabs, Delphi Ventures, Hack VC, and CMS Holdings, and reinforces our commitment to building a hybrid exchange that merges the best features of CEX and DEX.

The Birth of GRVT Alliance

Collaboration is key to success. We spearheaded the GRVT Alliance, bringing together over 30 industry experts, including QCP Capital, Arbelos Markets,Vamient Capital, Yolo Lab, Block Scholes, and more. These partnerships represent a synergy of vision and expertise to tackle challenges in crypto, making trading safe, simple, and scalable.

Alpha Testnet Success

Our closed alpha testnet was a resounding success, achieving all our goals, including successful wallet registration, executing trades for perps and options CLOB trading, and completing the first trade match with select clients. These milestones are paving the way for our eagerly anticipated Open Beta launch in early 2024.

A Fast-Growing Community

Since our first tweet in September this year, our follower base on X has exploded from 0 to over 45,000. We’re thrilled to have built a community of enthusiastic followers. As we grow, we will continue to engage our community, making them a key part of our journey and success.
