what's rayls?
Rayls is a compliant blockchain infrastructure designed for financial institutions, enabling real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, CBDCs, cross-border payments, and access to regulated liquidity on a public chain. It features a hybrid architecture combining private subnets for banks with a public EVM-based chain for DeFi, ensuring privacy, scalability, and compliance through zero-knowledge cryptography and permissioned networks. Rayls bridges Traditional Finance (TradFi) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi), allowing institutions to tokenize assets securely while providing DeFi users with new liquidity and yields. The project is backed by investors like ParaFi Capital and focuses on institutional-grade solutions for onchain finance.
