GRVT Rolls Out Onchain Retail Price Improvement Orders, Setting New Standard for Self-Custodial Trading
Hybrid exchange GRVT has launched a new feature that could reshape how retail traders engage with crypto markets: onchain Retail Price Improvement (RPI) orders. Available now on GRVT’s web and Android apps, this innovation delivers better execution prices than those posted on public order books—while users maintain full control of their assets.
Here’s how it works: when a retail user submits an order, GRVT automatically checks for better quotes from designated market makers. If a superior price is available, the order is filled at that improved rate—transparently and instantly.
The twist? These improved quotes are protected from predatory bots and algos. GRVT’s infrastructure is designed to offer exclusive access to this liquidity only to retail traders, leveling the playing field in a way that few DeFi platforms currently offer.
“Our goal is to give self-custodial users the kind of execution quality they’d expect from the best TradFi desks,” said Hong Yea, co-founder and CEO of GRVT. “With RPI, you don’t have to choose between decentralization and better pricing—you get both.”
Built on a hybrid architecture, GRVT combines fast off-chain matching with onchain settlement, offering CEX-level performance with DeFi-grade transparency.
The exchange has also kicked off a “tap and trade” competition to showcase the new functionality in action.
As the line between centralized and decentralized trading continues to blur, GRVT’s RPI launch highlights how exchanges can deliver retail-friendly innovation without compromising on trust or custody.
