On June 4, 2026, Gravity announced the start of the transition to the Gravity L1 mainnet. The chain executes transactions with Grevm, a parallel EVM running on Gravity Reth, uses AptosBFT consensus and began in permissioned mode with a small set of invited validators; Galxe was the first application to migrate, and the Alpha mainnet was to be sunset over the following months.⁠[7]

Gravity Alpha Shutdown Set for November 1

On July 22, 2026, Galxe announced that network operations of Gravity Alpha Mainnet would end on November 1, 2026, after which remaining assets could not be transferred.

Galxe said running two networks split developer resources, liquidity and tooling.⁠[8]
