The fully EVM-equivalent Gravity Layer-1 mainnet launched, combining Proof-of-Stake validation, a pipelined AptosBFT consensus engine, and the parallel Grevm execution engine to deliver sub-second finality at 12,000+ TPS.
The Gravity Alpha Mainnet launched as an Arbitrum Nitro-based Layer 2, bringing the Galxe ecosystem onchain and testing cross-chain settlement in a production environment ahead of the full L1 mainnet.
Following DAO governance approval, the legacy GAL token was upgraded to Gravity (G) at a 1:60 conversion ratio, with G serving as the native gas, staking, and governance token for the Gravity chain and Galxe ecosystem.
Galxe announced Gravity, an omnichain Layer-1 smart contract platform designed for cross-chain settlement and mass adoption, with Alpha Mainnet planned for June 2024 and full Mainnet for Q2 2025.

Eligible early adopters, including Galaxy NFT holders and active community participants, could claim their GAL token airdrop beginning at 5 AM PST.
