Rise Chain Pivots to On-Chain Market Infrastructure

Ethereum Layer 2 project Rise Chain announced a significant shift in its vision on November 13, 2025. The company is transitioning away from its general-purpose L2 model and focusing on infrastructure designed specifically for programmable onchain markets. This move marks a departure from the typical L2 structure and aims to address performance limitations inherent in contemporary Layer 2s, particularly those crucial for applications requiring low latency order execution. Rise Chain’s innovative approach utilizes on-chain order books and introduces two key components: RISE MarketCore and RISEx.
