Gravity RPC Endpoint

Flat-rate Gravity RPC provider and Gravity RPC node access: free tier, no KYC, HTTP. Gravity mainnet chain ID 127001.

Gravity mainnet RPC URL: https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/gravity?key=YOUR_API_KEY

Gravity is an EVM-equivalent Layer 1 built by the Galxe team. It combines a parallel EVM (Grevm on Gravity Reth) with AptosBFT-derived consensus, and G is the gas and staking token.

About Gravity

Galxe announced Gravity L1 mainnet in July 2026. It replaces Gravity Alpha, Galxe's earlier Arbitrum Nitro rollup, which is being deprecated on November 1, 2026. Mainnet began with a small permissioned validator set. Validators stake G to secure consensus and to attest data for a built-in oracle.

Gravity is EVM-equivalent, so Ethereum contracts and tooling work on chain ID 127001. Teams moving from Gravity Alpha (chain ID 1625) must bridge assets and redeploy contracts.

Common Use Cases on Gravity

  • Galxe Quest, Passport and other Galxe products
  • High-throughput EVM applications
  • Apps that use the native on-chain oracle
  • G staking and governance

Frequently Asked Questions: Gravity

What is the Gravity chain ID?

The Gravity chain ID is 127001 (0x1f019 in hex).

How is Gravity L1 related to Gravity Alpha?

Gravity L1 succeeds Gravity Alpha (chain ID 1625), an Arbitrum Nitro rollup. Alpha is being deprecated on November 1, 2026, and assets should be bridged to Gravity L1 or Ethereum before then.

What execution client does Gravity use?

Gravity Reth, a modified Reth that runs the Grevm parallel EVM engine, with AptosBFT-derived consensus. The stack is also available as the Gravity SDK.
