Gravity says it is building infrastructure for RWA and data-intensive DeFi

Gravity, the Layer 1 blockchain from Web3 community platform Galxe (G), announced it is being developed as a high-performance blockchain optimized for Real World Assets (RWA) and oracle utilization. In a post on X, the project stated it is building the necessary infrastructure to run large-scale RWA issuance, prediction markets, and data-intensive DeFi on-chain. According to the post, Gravity is based on Paradigm's Reth and incorporates a parallel EVM, an optimized mempool, and a pipelined execution structure, targeting a finality of approximately 1.9 Gigagas per second. The project also noted that an oracle layer is integrated directly at the protocol level, designed to anchor data from other chains, JWKs, and DNS, and provide it to contracts in a structured format. Gravity also distinguished itself from Tempo, another Reth-based, payment-focused blockchain that recently launched a public testnet. While Tempo focuses on real-world payment flows like stablecoin settlements, Gravity said its emphasis is on creating a high-performance execution environment for data-intensive applications such as native oracles, RWAs, and prediction markets.
