GRVT

GRVT is a licensed hybrid exchange on zkSync that pairs a centralized-feeling trading experience with onchain, self-custodied settlement. It launched the GRVT token after its community seasons.

GRVT fees

GRVT charges about 0.5 bps maker and 3.5 bps taker (a basis point is 0.01%). As with any perp venue, the funding rate often matters more than the headline fee: it is a recurring payment between longs and shorts that can quietly run for or against your position. See how this stacks up on the lowest-fee perp DEX ranking.

GRVT leverage & markets

GRVT offers up to 50x leverage across crypto markets on zkSync L2. Higher leverage magnifies both gains and liquidation risk, so size positions carefully. For the most aggressive limits, see the highest-leverage perp DEX ranking.

Is GRVT safe and is there KYC?

GRVT is non-custodial: your funds stay in your own wallet and you sign each trade, so there is no company holding your balance and typically no KYC. The trade-off is smart-contract and liquidation risk, so prefer venues with a solid track record and verify contracts yourself.

Who is behind GRVT?

GRVT was built by Hong Yea, a former Goldman Sachs trader, and Aaron Ong, formerly of Meta.

Backers: ZKsync Foundation, Further Ventures, EigenCloud and 500 Global, around $34M.
