Grvt DEX Raises $19M for Privacy-Focused ZK Validium L2

Grvt DEX raised $19M in a Series A led by ZKsync, Further Ventures, EigenCloud and 500 Global. Grvt DEX uses zero-knowledge proofs on ZKsync Validium L2 to deliver Ethereum-level security, transaction privacy and low fees. This funding underlines its commitment to privacy-first onchain finance and addresses security gaps, scalability limits and MEV attacks on public chains. With August onchain volume topping $320 billion and DeFi projected to reach $1.5 trillion by 2034, Grvt DEX will deploy its privacy-by-default Validium L2 infrastructure. Key offerings include an industry-first fixed yield generation flywheel, a stablecoin system integrated with real-world assets, cross-chain vaults and structured products such as a 10% fixed-yield plan and a high-APR market-making strategy. By focusing on privacy and scalability, Grvt DEX aims to become a leading liquidity hub in the trillion-dollar onchain finance market.
