Gravity at a glance.
Gravity is built by Galxe to support its ecosystem, and its live Alpha Mainnet runs as an EVM compatible network on the Arbitrum Nitro stack while the team works toward its own Layer 1. Here is how it works and what it is used for, not the price.

How Gravity works.
The live Gravity Alpha Mainnet is built on the Arbitrum Nitro stack and posts its data to Ethereum, so it inherits Ethereum settlement while running an EVM compatible execution environment. Gas is paid in the G token, which arrived through a migration from the earlier Galxe token. Galxe has described plans to move Gravity to its own Layer 1 secured by Proof of Stake, which is in development rather than live.

EVM compatible
Gravity runs an Ethereum Virtual Machine environment, so developers can deploy Solidity contracts and reuse Ethereum tooling and wallets.
Alpha Mainnet on Arbitrum Nitro
The live network is the Gravity Alpha Mainnet, built on the Arbitrum Nitro stack and posting data to Ethereum for settlement.
G as gas
The G token pays gas on Gravity. It arrived through a migration from the earlier Galxe token approved by the Galxe DAO.
Path to Layer 1
Galxe has described plans to move Gravity to its own Layer 1 secured by Proof of Stake, which is in development rather than live today.
What Gravity is used for.
Gravity is used by applications across the Galxe ecosystem and EVM projects that deploy on the chain.
Galxe ecosystem
Gravity supports applications and activity across the Galxe ecosystem, with G used for transactions on the chain.
EVM contract deployment
Because the chain is EVM compatible, developers deploy Solidity contracts using existing Ethereum tooling.
Paying network fees
Users pay gas in G when transacting on the Gravity Alpha Mainnet.
