A report from leading research firm Messari shows that Gravity – an ultra-fast parallel EVM Layer 1 blockchain being developed by Web3 “Super App” Galxe – is approaching industry-leading speed, processing, and security.
On March 3, 2025, Galxe announced Grevm 2.0: a major upgrade to Gravity’s execution engine. Currently, Gravity boasts sub-second finality and can process between 7,000-8,000 Transactions Per Second (TPS) in its Devnet 1.0 environment. This compares to just 300-400 TPS on Ethereum and around 3,000-4,000 TPS for Solana.
Built using Aptos architecture, which has achieved over 12,000 TPS, Gravity believes it will eventually average around 10,000 TPS. Alongside huge gains in computational efficiency that see Gravity consuming 95% less CPU than competitors, this speed will make the chain a scalable solution for more demanding use cases like DeFi, gaming, and traditional finance.
Commenting on the development of Gravity, Galaxy’s CTO Yumin Xia says: “With Gravity, we want to build a chain that is fast, scalable, composable and open-source. Our closest competitor – Monad – is achieving similar speeds, but in a closed environment. The two of us are, effectively, building the sports cars of blockchain, but Gravity will be available to any developer to build the next generation of web3 projects – not just a select few.”
In addition to developments at Gravity, Messari’s report also highlights the progress of Galxe’s Earndrop program, which, since its launch in January, has partnered with projects such as XRP, Solayer, Jambo, and Diam to distribute rewards to its users. It also highlights the super app’s integration with Soneium – an Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs to enhance scalability, interoperability, and accessibility. Developments in the ease of payments through Galxe’s g-domain names and the growth of Galxe Rewards Hub are also highlighted.
Gravity also launched “Get G,” a dedicated portal designed to simplify G token acquisition by aggregating all available access points in one place without the friction of navigating multiple platforms.
