{"id":"rise-chain","title":"RISE Chain","content":"**RISE Chain** is a [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) scaling solution for [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) designed to provide high transaction throughput and low latency for real-time applications. It aims to achieve performance metrics suitable for demanding use cases while maintaining decentralization and leveraging [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum)'s security.\n\n![](https://ipfs.everipedia.org/ipfs/QmVtzQqz5R7e998Jxd5X4Smu8Y5PVx9iSA2B24WUYVTdhP)\n\n## Overview\n\nRISE Chain is being developed as a Layer 2 [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) built on top of [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum). Its primary objective is to address the limitations of existing [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology regarding speed and latency, particularly for applications requiring real-time interaction. The project focuses on achieving significantly faster transaction processing and confirmation times compared to traditional blockchains, targeting performance levels comparable to modern web applications. This is intended to facilitate broader adoption of [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology by enabling use cases that were previously hindered by slow transaction speeds. The architecture is designed to balance high performance with the [core](https://iq.wiki/wiki/core-dao) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) principles of decentralization and security, aiming to avoid compromises often seen in other high-throughput systems.\n\nThe development of [RISE Chain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/rise-chain) includes innovations aimed at reducing the time it takes for transactions to be confirmed, moving towards sub-blocktime confirmations. The project has undergone testing, demonstrating the ability to process a large volume of transactions. Funding has been secured from various investors to support the development and planned launch of the [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet). The project positions itself as an extension of [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), intending to integrate with its ecosystem and security infrastructure.\n\n## Technology\n\nRISE Chain incorporates several technological components designed to achieve its performance goals.\n\n* **Shreds:** This is a [core](https://iq.wiki/wiki/core-dao) transaction architecture component enabling transaction preconfirmations within single-digit milliseconds [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-FvrYCBImug) [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-JZa0PFCNka). Unlike traditional blockchains that process transactions in discrete blocks, Shreds are described as continuous and interrupt-driven, reacting to demand in real time [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-FvrYCBImug). This technology is intended to provide sub-blocktime transaction confirmations [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl).\n* **Based Sequencing:** Planned for future implementation, Based Sequencing aims to [leverage](https://iq.wiki/wiki/leverage) [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum)'s [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) network to unlock synchronous composability between [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) and RISE [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl). This is intended to solve liquidity fragmentation issues for users [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl).\n* **Secured Shreds:** Also planned for future implementation, Secured Shreds involve preconfirmations economically secured by [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) Validators, intended to improve the security profile of the network [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl).\n* **Parallel EVM (PEVM):** The project has researched and discussed the concept of a [Parallel](https://iq.wiki/wiki/parallel) EVM, which could potentially allow for [parallel](https://iq.wiki/wiki/parallel) processing of transactions [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-Tbs1AZKfhS).\n* **Hybrid Rollups:** Research has been conducted on [Hybrid](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hybrid) Rollups, combining aspects of Optimistic and ZK security [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-9gisCHbXS3).\n\n## Performance\n\nRISE Chain targets specific performance metrics to support real-time applications.\n\n* **Latency:** The network aims for real-time performance with latency as low as 5ms [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl). The [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) has demonstrated round trip latency as low as 10 milliseconds [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-JZa0PFCNka).\n* **Throughput (TPS):** The project has a target of exceeding 100,000 transactions per second (TPS) [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl). The public [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) has been benchmarked at over 50,000 TPS [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl) and has processed over 50,000 transactions in a single 1-second [block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block) [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl).\n* **Testnet Performance:** The public [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) has processed over 2 billion transactions [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl).\n\n## Development & Milestones\n\n* The public [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) for [RISE Chain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/rise-chain) was launched on April 10, 2025 [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-JZa0PFCNka).\n* The project is working towards a [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) launch [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl).\n\n## Funding\n\nAs of June 2025, RISE Chain has raised a total of $8 million in funding [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl) [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-Vks9cn0Oym) [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl).\n\n* A $4 million investment was received from Galaxy Ventures [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl) [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-Vks9cn0Oym) [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl).\n* Previous seed investors include [Vitalik Buterin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/vitalik-buterin) and [Stani Kulechov](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stani-kulechov) [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl) [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-Vks9cn0Oym).\n\nThe funding is intended to support product and application development leading up to the [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) launch [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl).\n\n## Founders\n\n* [Sam Battenally](https://iq.wiki/wiki/sam-battenally) - CEO and co-founder [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-mMEzLvezIl) [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-Vks9cn0Oym)\n* [Sasha Mai](https://iq.wiki/wiki/sasha-mai) - CGO and co-founder\n* [Hai Nguyen](https://iq.wiki/wiki/hai-nguyen) - CTO and co-founder","summary":"RISE Chain: Ethereum Layer 2 for real-time apps.
