Galxe’s “Gravity” update sees chain reach industry-leading speeds

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.
