Rayls Mainnet: What's coming next

30th April 2026 marks a significant milestone for Rayls: our mainnet is live.
‍

Mainnet is not the finish line. It's the foundation. The infrastructure is now in place for everything we've been building toward: real tokenomics, real liquidity, real assets, and a real path to decentralisation.

Here's what mainnet enables, and what you can expect in the months ahead.
‍

What mainnet actually is

Mainnet is the production version of the Rayls Public Chain. It's no longer a testnet. Transactions are real. Assets are real. The network is live.

For the past two years, we've been building and deploying Rayls Privacy Nodes and Private Networks with institutional partners including Núclea, XP Inc., AmFi, and Nimofast. Through these partnerships, our infrastructure connects to institutions processing billions in tokenized assets.

With Mainnet, Privacy Nodes become the connective tissue between private institutional networks and the Rayls Public Chain, unlocking access to the wider DeFi world. Institutions get compliance and privacy. Everyone else gets access to yield-generating assets that were previously out of reach.
‍

What mainnet initiates

‍
1. RLS tokenomics go live

With mainnet, the $RLS token has real utility. Transaction fees on both the public chain and private networks now flow through RLS. Fifty percent of all fees are burned. The other fifty percent is sent to the Network Security Pool for validator rewards.

This isn't theoretical anymore. As transaction volume grows, so does the economic activity around RLS.

2. Live production environment for partners to build on, integrate with or connect into.

Until now, joining Rayls required working directly with our team to deploy private infrastructure. Mainnet opens the door to a broader range of partners who can build on the public chain, integrate with existing private networks, or deploy their own.

We're already in conversations with institutions across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Mainnet gives them a production environment to build on.

3. Liquidity and TVL growth

Mainnet enables us to bridge assets from private networks to the public chain, where they become accessible to a global investor base. This is how we bring real-world yield onchain.

Our exclusive partners have already tokenized over $2.8 billion in receivables through AmFi, with Nimofast preparing to tokenize billions more in commodities and energy assets. Mainnet is the infrastructure that allows this value to flow into DeFi. Our ability to bring this volume onto crypto rails is unique in the industry.

4. Decentralisation roadmap activates

At launch, all validators are under the control of our core-contributor Parfin, with further institutional partners coming soon. This is intentional. Financial institutions need to know who is validating their transactions and it’s common practice in the industry to gradually decentralise over time.

But our roadmap moves toward broader participation. Over the coming months, we'll expand the validator set, introduce staking for the community, and slashing penalties will be enforced to progressively decentralise the network while providing robust economic incentives for network validation. Mainnet launch is the first step on that path.

5. Vaults launch and new financial assets come onchain

With mainnet live, Rayls and its partners will deploy yield-bearing vaults that connect institutional assets to DeFi liquidity. Investors worldwide will be able to allocate stablecoins to vaults backed by real receivables, real commodities, and real trade finance.

These aren't synthetic yields. They're cash flows from real businesses, tokenized and distributed through compliant infrastructure. This is what we mean by "institutional assets, universal access."

What Mainnet is not

Mainnet is not the moment when everything is finished. It's the moment when everything becomes possible.

We're not promising overnight TVL growth or instant liquidity. Building institutional infrastructure takes time. Onboarding regulated partners takes time. Earning trust takes time.

What we are promising is that the foundation is now in place. The technical infrastructure works. The commercial partnerships are real. The path forward is clear.

‍

What comes next:

‍

Here's what's coming over the next two quarters:

May 2026
‍
• Staking goes live: Those who participated in the pre-commit will be able to stake RLS and participate in network security.
• Bridging activates: Assets can move between Rayls and other chains, unlocking cross-chain liquidity.

‍

June 2026
‍
• Validator decentralisation begins: We'll start onboarding new validators beyond the initial institutional set. The plan is to add one new validator per month, expanding the network progressively. There's already a waiting list.
• Vaults (from partners like Lagoon, Enzyme and Liqvid): Yield-bearing vaults from launch partners go live, allowing global investors to allocate stablecoins to earn yield from real-world asset pools.
• Open-source release: The core codebase of the Rayls public chain will be publicly released on GitHub, including the consensus layer. This marks a major transparency milestone for the network, inviting external contributors, auditors, and ecosystem builders to engage directly with our value-added public chain.

Q3 2026
‍
• Institutional asset vaults come onto the public chain: AmFi, Núclea, Nimofast, XP will begin porting over from private networks / directly deposited into vaults on our public chain. This is where TVL starts to grow meaningfully.
‍

Q3/Q4 2026
‍
• Enygma running on Public Chain: privacy at scale without isolation.

Q4 2026
‍
• Parfin FX volumes migrate to Rayls: Parfin's existing institutional volume begins flowing through Rayls mainnet, $400M monthly volumes driving real transaction activity and fee generation.
• New version of the privacy node - which will communicate through the Public Chain with Privacy (Enygma). Today, Privacy Nodes connect private networks to the public chain. Tomorrow, they'll talk to each other through the public chain privately. That's institutions transacting freely, at scale, without sacrificing confidentiality.
• Ecosystem expansion: Additional partners, new asset classes, and broader geographic coverage as the network matures.

‍
The bottom line

‍
From 30th April, Rayls mainnet is live. The infrastructure for institutional DeFi is now in production.

This is a technical and commercial foundation. It initiates tokenomics, enables new partners, unlocks liquidity, activates decentralisation, and brings real financial assets onchain.

It's not the end. It's the beginning of everything we've been working toward.
