It’s Uptober. ETH and BTC are free to trade, with zero fees to grow traders and flow plus daily trading comps rewarding real PnL and open interest. But fees are just the surface. The real story is where execution is heading. Architectures > slogans. Speed matters. Security matters. But only architecture endures. Today, Reya is a high-performance perp DEX leveraging the Arbitrum Orbit stack Tomorrow, it becomes Ethereum’s trading layer — the world’s first trading specific based rollup. Not an L2. A DEX enshrined in Ethereum’s L1. One trading system where retail and institutions can trade any market with millisecond execution and Ethereum-grade assurance. Projects like Hyperliquid and Aster have shown how powerful fast, vertically integrated venues can be. They’ve built deep liquidity and loyal users, proving the demand for onchain speed. Reya extends that proof by anchoring performance to Ethereum, where liquidity, infrastructure, and long-term trust already exist. Real capital markets depend on three things: Security and finality. Settlement and verification anchored to Ethereum’s validator set, with a path to hundreds of thousands of validators sequencing and attesting to every trade. Composability. Native integration with Ethereum’s DeFi stack: LSTs, RWAs, restaking, and collateral innovation. Distribution. Ethereum already has the builders, liquidity, and institutions. Reya connects directly to that network. Fast is easy. Truly decentralised is hard. Reya is both. Perp DEXs today compete for the same pool of traders. Reya widens the market. CeFi-level execution with Ethereum-grade settlement lets traders move from custodial to self-custody without losing performance. That shift unlocks the full stack of onchain markets — perps, spot, staking, RWAs, and basis strategies — all under one unified margin system. Ethereum still lacks a flagship L1-anchored perp venue. Reya is built to become that trading layer: fast, composable, and verifiable at the core of Ethereum’s financial stack. Today: a zero-gas, MEV-free perp DEX with yield-bearing margin. Next: a trading specific based rollup with settlement verified by Ethereum’s validator network, expanding toward a future of distributed sequencing and validator participation at scale. Performance wins the moment. Alignment wins the decade. Reya is built for both — the execution layer of Internet Capital Markets. On the Ethereum L1.
