What is Gravity?
Today
@Gravity operates as an
@Ethereum #L2 built on
@Arbitrum Foundation Nitro. Tomorrow it aims to evolve into a fully independent
#L1 blockchain powered by Proof of Stake, restaking, and its own high-performance execution layer.
Backed by
#Galxe and designed for speed, scalability, and interoperability, Gravity is shaping up as one of the most important launches of 2025.
🌌 Roadmap & Vision
Alpha Mainnet (Q3 2024): initial launch on Arbitrum Nitro for testing, ecosystem bootstrapping, and community engagement.Migration to Celestia (April 2025): moving from AnyTrust to Celestia’s DA layer for stronger scalability and security.Devnet Phase 1 (current): integration with Galxe services and prep for the full L1.Longevity Testnet: long-term stress testing before mainnet release.Gravity L1 Mainnet (Q4 2025): full launch as an independent L1 with PoS, restaking, and Reth-based EVM execution.Strategic Goal: an omnichannel L1 enabling scalable cross-chain applications and real-world adoption.
⚡ Under the Hood
Pre-L1 (today’s Alpha Mainnet / L2 on Arbitrum Nitro):
Runs as an EVM-compatible L2.Uses
$G as the native gas token.Designed primarily for testing features and onboarding users while the L1 stack matures.
Post-L1 (future Gravity L1):
A fully EVM-compatible blockchain with PoS and restaking support.Target throughput of 1 giga-gas/sec and <1 second finality.Grevm for parallel execution of smart contracts.ested Trie and Reth execution layer for faster state processing.Integration with restaking protocols (EigenLayer, Babylon) to boost security.Cross-chain settlement creating an omnichannel ecosystem.
Gravity is expected to process over 60M transactions per month. That is around twice Ethereum’s current activity and would place it among the most active chains globally.
💰 G Tokenomics
The
$G token forms the backbone of the Gravity and Galxe ecosystems. It powers governance, staking economics, transaction fees, and application utility.
Total supply: 12B (GAL G conversion at 1:60, July 2024).Circulating at launch: 7B G (≈60%).Allocation: community, team, marketing, staking incentives, governance, and ecosystem development.Distribution across networks: Ethereum – 11.5B, BNB Smart Chain – 458M, Base – 15MCirculating supply: 7.23B (≈60%)Current TVL secured in the Gravity blockchain: $63M
Allocation
Community: 20% (≈2.4B
$G )Team: 15%Marketing: 15%Remaining share dedicated to staking, governance, and ecosystem growth
The transition to L1 will expand token utility into on-chain governance via G DAO, deeper economic alignment, and restaking participation. These elements are not possible while running solely as an L2.
Security and decentralization: validation will happen directly on the Gravity L1 network, reducing exposure to L2-specific risks.Liquidity and transparency: without wrappers or bridges, G gains more direct and reliable liquidity.Access to the full stack: DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and other components will be native on L1, not routed through third-party infrastructure.
🌐 Gravity + Galxe
Gravity directly powers the Galxe Super App (Passport, Quest, Score, Alva), which already boasts over 31M unique addresses.
Highlights:
Galxe Identity Protocol leverages ZKPs for self-sovereign identity.Gravity provides the scalability layer to support omnichannel apps, while Galxe drives adoption through its massive community reach.UX-first design with gas abstraction, intent-based transactions, and parallel execution ensures Web3 feels seamless, even at scale.
In essence, Gravity exists to power Galxe at scale. The blockchain layer ensures speed, throughput, and interoperability, while Galxe channels its massive user base and community activity into the network.
🚀 Early Ecosystem Signals
Rather than just testing throughput, Gravity is positioning itself as a foundational L1 for both consumer apps and institutional use.
Key signals:
TVL already surpassing $150M in staking and ecosystem liquidity.Partnerships across L2s and infrastructure projects (Arbitrum, Sei, Movement, Polyhedra).Strong traction from Galxe’s user base ensures Gravity will launch with one of the largest pre-existing communities in Web3.
📈 Conclusion
Gravity is not just another L2 experiment. It’s a scalable and secure L1 architecture designed to handle resource-heavy, high-throughput applications without compromising decentralization or user control.
Its native G token unites the Gravity + Galxe ecosystems into a single economic and governance layer. Cross-chain architecture, parallel execution, and privacy-first identity systems ensure Web3 solutions can finally scale like Web2 services — but with decentralization intact.
As adoption grows, Gravity is well-positioned to serve both consumer-facing dApps (gaming, DeFi, social) and institutional-grade use cases that require throughput, finality, and reliability.
With Galxe’s reach, partnerships across the ecosystem, and unique technical stack (Grevm, Nested Trie, restaking), Gravity could emerge as one of the most important blockchain launches of 2025.
