The first time I heard about Grvt, some might simply categorize it as a "CEX experience + DeFi self-custody hybrid exchange." There's no wrong in that description, but it misses the core — it's not just creating a new exchange, but fundamentally reconstructing the very concept of "trading." What truly makes me rely on it is never about "faster speeds," but its radical overhaul of trading logic. Have you ever thought about how most of the time your trading funds are just "lying idle"? Waiting for opportunities before opening positions, leaving the position empty after closing, and the margin just sitting there unused, worthless except for waiting. But Grvt's approach is completely opposite: as long as the money is in the system, it should keep generating income. That's why it features so many "counter-conventional" designs: market makers not only don't charge fees, but the platform also pays you; even the margin used for opening positions can earn returns; when not trading, funds automatically cycle into risk-controlled strategy vaults, requiring no extra effort from you. This isn't just isolated optimization; it's more like building a flywheel that makes capital more and more efficient. What's even more remarkable is that self-custody isn't just a slogan here but the foundational premise of all designs. Funds are always in your hands, off-chain matching guarantees speed, on-chain settlement + zero-knowledge proofs ensure every transaction is verifiable and auditable. You get a smooth experience comparable to CEXs, but with the core of DeFi's fund sovereignty — for traders doing large-scale or high-frequency trading, this sense of security and certainty is more important than anything else. And there's the often-overlooked aspect of no KYC. This isn't about convenience; it's about respecting traders. Privacy should be an integral part of the trading system, not an appendage of regulation. Veteran traders understand that being able to enter and exit the market quickly and without obstacles, without being interrupted by cumbersome procedures, greatly impacts trading efficiency. Grvt is more like an "operating system for trading accounts." Currently, perpetual contracts are just the starting point; in the future, spot trading, RWA, strategy portfolios, and institutional-grade products will gradually be implemented. Its goal has never been "to generate larger trading volumes," but to integrate trading, yields, liquidity, and professional strategies into a unified system — as they say, the long-term vision is to build an "on-chain private bank," not just an exchange. Why do I keep using it? Simple reasons: the trading experience is seamless, with no compromise; capital efficiency is visibly higher; the risk structure is clear; even all growth data can be checked on-chain, no need for narrative or pie-in-the-sky promises. It doesn't attract users with stories but with real usability and high capital retention. If you're already familiar with perpetual contracts, understand the importance of capital efficiency, and care about your fund sovereignty and trading privacy, then Grvt is likely to become the system you'll never want to switch from.
