Almost two summers ago, we started building in public. On our github , you can trace the commit history all the way back — the design, the experiments, the walls we ran into (many of them), the rebuilds, and the iterations that followed.
Funny thing is, this period also happened to overlap with the moment when coding agents began to reshape software engineering. You can see that shift: how AI-assisted coding becoming part of how software is built. But even as AI coding agents have become incredibly powerful, building a production-grade blockchain is still not something that can be easily handed off to an “agent.” When it comes to security, stability, and engineering quality, there is almost no room for sloppiness. It remains a precise, serious, and long-term engineering effort.
Gravity stands on the foundation of many great open-source projects. We built on Reth, and we are probably one of the external teams that contributed to its performance optimization. Thank you to the
@paradigm @ithacaxyz @gakonst team for their help and recognition. We are also grateful to
@Aptos — its elegant design and high-quality code are an important reason Gravity is able to achieve high performance at the consensus layer.

Today feels like the end of a prologue, and the beginning of the next chapter.
No matter how the market changes, we continue to believe that blockchain itself will be an essential part of the future world. Maybe today most of the attention is on AI, but when agents truly enter every part of life and business, blockchain may become one of the fundamental tools they cannot operate without.
