Rise Chain Shifts Focus: New Vision for Onchain Markets

Ethereum Layer 2 project Rise Chain announced a major shift in its strategy, focusing on developing infrastructure specifically designed for programmable on-chain markets. The team’s November 13, 2025 announcement revealed their intention to transition from a general-purpose L2 to a specialized system offering high-speed trading capabilities. Rise Chain has introduced two key components: RISE MarketCore and RISEx. This shift addresses performance limitations common among contemporary Layer 2 solutions, particularly for applications requiring low-latency order execution.
