Unveiling Grevm 1.0: The Ultra-Fast Engine Powering Gravity’s 1 Gigagas/Second Performance

We’re thrilled to introduce Grevm 1.0 (Gravity EVM), an open-source, parallel EVM runtime built on revm and engineered for unparalleled efficiency and scalability. Inspired by the BlockSTM algorithm and a transaction dependency graph, Grevm sets a new benchmark in blockchain performance by enabling fast, accurate, and reliable transaction processing, even under heavy workloads.

This release marks a major leap forward in the evolution of Gravity Chain and the Gravity SDK, our open-source toolkit for crafting high-performance Layer 1 blockchains. As the fastest open-source parallel EVM implementation yet, Grevm paves the way for the next generation of EVM-based chains, giving developers the tools to design scalable, efficient blockchain solutions tailored to diverse and ambitious use cases.

Powering Ultra-Fast, Scalable Blockchain Solutions

Grevm is the technological core of Gravity Chain, enabling the ultra-fast throughput of 1 gigagas/second for high-performance Layer 1 operations. By leveraging its advanced parallel EVM runtime, Grevm ensures that transaction processing is not only fast but also optimized for scalability and reliability. 

With its integration into the Gravity SDK, Grevm equips developers with a powerful toolkit to design and deploy custom blockchain solutions. In practice, through its advanced parallel execution, Grevm elevates DeFi operations by handling multiple transactions in parallel, minimizing latency, and boosting throughput. 

The combination of this framework allows developers to unlock innovative use cases with minimal latency and maximum security while setting a benchmark for what modern blockchain infrastructure can achieve in precision, speed, and resilience. 

Grevm 2.0: The Next Step in Speed and Scalability

Grevm 1.0 has laid the groundwork for redefining blockchain performance, and we’re just getting started. It’s now fully compatible with Reth, the fastest Ethereum client, unlocking a refined framework for developers. 

Looking ahead, we’re actively testing and refining Grevm 2.0, with a sharp focus on enhancing parallel transaction processing for even greater precision and efficiency. These advancements will deliver faster, more scalable solutions, taking the blockchain ecosystem to new heights. Here are some of the key improvements to look forward to:

• Finer-Grained Transaction-Level Concurrency: Grevm 2.0 allows related transactions to run in parallel once their dependencies are resolved, boosting performance and resource efficiency, especially when handling many transactions at once.

• Fully Asynchronous I/O: Grevm 2.0 will allow different system processes to run independently without waiting on each other, reducing delays and making the system faster and more efficient.
