Where TradFi and DeFi truly meet
A fast, cheap, and secure EVM Layer-1 blockchain that brings the worlds of DeFi and TradFi together.
Partners
The problem: open liquidity and regulated capital have no place to meet
The solution: a meeting place for all kinds of liquidity
Rayls Public Chain is that meeting place: a permissionless EVM Layer-1 that anyone can build on and transact over, engineered to the tolerances institutions settle on. Tokenised assets reach it from the Rayls Sovereign chains institutions run, liquidity arrives from the wider DeFi ecosystem, and both sides settle on one network at 15,000+ transactions per second with hard sub-second finality and fees priced in dollars.
$RLS
Secured by a global validator set
Validators around the world stake $RLS to take part in Axyl consensus and take half of every epoch’s fees in return, so the cost of attacking the chain and the reward for securing it are denominated in the same token.
$USDr
Settlement at institutional pace
Axyl delivers hard, deterministic finality in under a second with no chain reorganisations. Every transaction pays its fee in $USDr, pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, so costs stay budgetable.
Private to public bridge
A custom lock-and-mint bridge, integrated directly with Rayls Sovereign, carries tokenised assets from an institution’s own chain onto the Public Chain. The asset is locked on the private side, a mirror token is minted on the public side, and it redeems the same way back.
Public to public bridge
LayerZero, our bridging partner, carries liquidity in from Ethereum, Solana and the rest of the onchain economy, so DeFi capital meets tokenised real-world assets on one permissionless network.
Deploy with the tools you already use
No new language and no custom SDK. Standard 0x addresses, standard Ethereum JSON-RPC, and the Solidity toolchain unchanged — point it at chain ID 72957 and deploy.
$USDr, gas priced in dollars
$USDr is the native gas token of the Rayls Public Chain, pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and fully backed by USDC locked on Ethereum through LayerZero, our bridging partner. Transaction costs stay denominated in dollars instead of moving with a volatile native asset, so onchain activity can be budgeted like any other line item.
$RLS secures the network
Security on the Rayls Public Chain is underpinned by $RLS, the staking token of the Rayls ecosystem. Validators stake $RLS to take part in Axyl consensus and receive half of every epoch's fees in return, so the cost of attacking the chain and the reward for securing it are denominated in the same token. Anyone can delegate stake to a validator without running infrastructure.

Questions builders ask
Nothing new. Rayls is 100% EVM compatible on the Reth execution client, so Foundry, Hardhat, Truffle, Remix, wagmi, viem, ethers and WalletConnect all work unmodified against standard 0x addresses. Mainnet is chain ID 72957 at mainnet-rpc.rayls.com, with a testnet at chain ID 7295799.
No. The Rayls Public Chain is permissionless, and anyone can hold USDr, deploy a contract or transact on it. Compliance is determined at the smart contract layer, exactly as it is on Ethereum, so an application that needs verified counterparties enforces that in its own contracts. The permissioned layers sit elsewhere in the system: a Rayls Sovereign chain is private to the institution that runs it and permissioned on its own terms.
In USDr, the native gas token, pegged 1:1 to the dollar and backed by USDC bridged from Ethereum through LayerZero, our bridging partner, and held in onchain escrow. Fees accumulate in a Fees Aggregator contract, and once per 24-hour epoch they are swapped to RLS, with half paid to validators and half bridged back to Ethereum for burning. Burns are published at transparency.rayls.com and verifiable on Etherscan.
Axyl, a DAG-based Byzantine fault tolerant consensus derived from Narwhal and Bullshark and running on Reth, delivers 15,000+ transactions per second with hard, deterministic sub-second finality and no risk of chain reorganisations. It has been in production on the Public Chain since mainnet launch on 30 April 2026.
Today it is not. The Public Chain is a transparent EVM chain, and Rayls Enygma privacy is coming to it rather than live on it. Enygma is in production in the Rayls Sovereign chains institutions run, where transactions are shielded by default and remain auditable by the institution's assigned auditor, using zero-knowledge proofs, homomorphic Pedersen commitments and post-quantum key encapsulation. The cryptography is published for peer review on the IACR ePrint archive.
Validators stake RLS and take a share of each epoch's fees. The validator set today is made up of trusted financial institutions, which is what gives the chain censorship resistance that private L1s do not have, and the roadmap moves towards permissionless validators and MEV protection over time. Anyone can delegate stake without running infrastructure.
