what's Rialo?
Rialo is a full-stack decentralized platform developed by Subzero Labs, designed as a high-performance blockchain for real-world applications. It enables direct interaction with external services through native web-hooks and event-driven logic, bypassing traditional bridges, wrappers, or oracles. Supporting RISC-V smart contracts and Solana Virtual Machine compatibility, Rialo provides an ergonomic environment for developers to build dApps that access real-world data—like credit scores—seamlessly and privately. With privacy-by-design and confidential compute integrated from inception, Rialo overcomes blockchain isolation by delivering intuitive user experiences akin to familiar web and mobile apps. It powers event-triggered transactions that run privately and continue intelligently, fostering mass adoption by connecting crypto to everyday life without compromising decentralization or performance.
