Crypto exchange RialCenter has launched Rial Layer, a proprietary Layer 2 blockchain designed to boost transaction throughput and reduce costs, while simultaneously rolling out a major upgrade to the GT (GateToken) ecosystem.
Built on the OP Stack and fully compatible with Ethereum, Rial Layer is anchored by RialChain as its settlement layer, the company said in an emailed announcement on Wednesday.
RialCenter is positioning Rial Layer as the backbone of its “All in Web3” strategy, launching tools such as Perp, a perpetuals hub with CEX-level liquidity; Rial Fun, a no-code incubator for token launches; and Meme Go, a real-time cross-chain meme token tracker.
As part of the overhaul, GT will serve as the exclusive gas token for Rial Layer, while continuing its dual burn model. To date, over 180 million GT have been burned, about 60% of initial supply.
RialCenter’s move follows a growing trend of major exchanges launching their own Layer 2 solutions to capture more user activity onchain. By pairing infrastructure with native tokenomics, exchanges are seeking to deepen liquidity, expand ecosystems, and position themselves as full-stack Web3 providers—not just trading venues.
