Rayls blockchain launches today, aiming to combine the traditional and decentralised finance ecosystems

The new blockchain arrives in the market focused in solving longstanding concerns around privacy, scalability and interoperability that prevented financial institutions from fully using blockchain technology

LONDON, June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rayls, a new blockchain system has launched today, enabling financial institutions to make full use of blockchain technology to innovate and thrive in the digital era. This unique EVM blockchain aims to connect permissioned and permissionless ecosystems, combining the robustness of traditional finance (TradFi) with the transformative potential of decentralised finance (DeFi).

Rayls introduces the concept of UniFi, the combination of TradFi (Traditional Finance) and DeFi (Decentralised Finance) with a focus on enterprise-grade privacy, scalability, interoperability and decentralisation.

With Rayls, institutions can implement the tokenisation of financial and real-world assets (RWA), simplify cross-border and intra-institutional settlements and soon utilise DeFi protocols in a compliant manner. "By building a new solution focussed on the needs of global financial institutions, Rayls aims to champion the best of both the TradFi and DeFi worlds to accelerate the blockchain's benefits across the entire finance industry." says Alex Buelau, co-Founder of Parfin, the company that developed the initial version of Rayls.

Selected by Mastercard Start Path Program and Endorsed by Industry Leaders

Rayls' innovative approach has garnered significant industry recognition, including being a runner-up at the 'Tech Sprint' program sponsored by the G20 and BIS (Bank of International Settlements) in India in 2023, and the recent selection by the prestigious Mastercard 'Start Path Blockchain and Digital Assets program'.

Collaborations with the Central Bank of Brazil

Rayls is actively collaborating with the Central Bank of Brazil, which is testing the system as a private and scalable EVM solution for its Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) initiatives. It highlights Rayls' potential to streamline payment processes, reduce costs, and enhance financial inclusion.

Rayls is a both public permissionless and private permissioned system

The Rayls system is composed of the Rayls Public Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 solution secured by Ethereum (currently in testnet stage), as well as a sophisticated system of private permissioned Subnets that use Zero Knowledge (ZK) and Homomorphic cryptography to enable transactions between counterparties in complete privacy, while offering high throughput and scalability.

The connection between Rayls' Private Subnets and Public Chain creates a fully interoperable network that combines enterprise-grade security and compliance with the flexibility of an open, permissionless EVM blockchain, ensuring a safe and transparent environment for all participants.
