If low-risk DeFi for Ethereum was what search was for Google – as opined by Vitalik recently, unlocking borderless access to money – then ZK is the key to sophisticated DeFi’s Amazon moment: similar to the point where internet-powered commerce go widely mainstream, mass-adopted, and unstoppable. DeFi 2.0 Is Ready Vitalik recently said it best: DeFi is mature. Smart contracts are safer. Protocols are battle-tested. Risk is dropping fast – arguably safer today than many TradFi alternatives. Ethereum made accessing money borderless and permissionless. DeFi 1.0 proved it could work. DeFi 2.0 is about going mainstream. Next comes the unimaginable: globally accessible, high-quality financial products. The recent ATH perp DEX volume is one major signal. For the ecosystem to further sophisticate and thrive though, there’s one and only viable unlock: zero-knowledge technology – by far the most solid and pragmatic standard of keeping both onchain transparency and privacy compact in an highly efficient and operational environment for financial activities.

The Roadmap: A Full ZK Marketplace At Grvt, we are built with ZK since day 1, powered by @zksync's Validium Layer 2. We don't chase hypes, we put our head down and build until the times are catching up to us. Trading is just the beginning. Grvt’s long-term vision is to evolve into a full ZK marketplace—a financial hub where all types of assets, products, and services can be accessed and transacted with privacy, scalability, and Ethereum-grade trust. Think of it as the Amazon of onchain finance: - A one-stop platform for DeFi-native and institutional products. - Powered by ZK technology to balance privacy and transparency. - Designed for mainstream adoption, not just crypto insiders.
