GRVT Burns 1.1 Million Tokens as Countdown to Grvt 2.0 Begins
Singapore, Singapore, October 20th, 2026, Chainwire
The discretionary buyback represents close to 1% of circulating supply and precedes four planned product milestones culminating in Grvt 2.0.
Grvt, a self-custodial trading platform built on its own zero-knowledge (ZK) chain, announced that the Foundation’s token issuer has completed its first GRVT token buyback, purchasing and burning 1.1 million GRVT tokens on the open market.
The transaction permanently removed close to 1% of GRVT’s circulating supply at the time of purchase. It marks the first of five milestones ahead of the planned launch of Grvt 2.0 at the end of November 2026.
A Discretionary Buyback with On-Chain Verification
The Foundation’s token issuer intends to conduct further buybacks on a monthly basis. Each transaction remains entirely at the issuer’s discretion, with no predetermined purchase amount or guaranteed schedule.
Buybacks are executed through an independent execution partner, with purchased tokens transferred to a designated burn address and permanently removed from circulation.
The transactions can be independently verified through the public buyback dashboard, which records the number of tokens purchased and burned, the percentage of circulating supply represented, cumulative burns and on-chain transaction hashes.
“The GRVT token is an important part of the ecosystem we are building,” said Hong, co-founder and CEO of Grvt. “We welcome the issuer’s buybacks as a demonstration of its long-term commitment to the ecosystem and community. Grvt is expanding its products and markets, and the issuer’s buybacks sit alongside that as a supportive mechanism aimed at reducing circulating token supply.”
Grvt Outlines Four Product Milestones
The announcement follows GRVT’s token generation event in July 2026 and precedes a series of planned launches.
Grvt Earn, scheduled for the End of October, will introduce yield opportunities backed by tokenized assets, with target yields of up to 11%. Potential returns are expected to derive from underlying asset cash flows, including interest, premiums and invoice-related income. Asset-supplying partners will be announced at launch. Target yields are not guaranteed.
Stable Funding Perps, scheduled for November, will introduce perpetual futures linked to commodities, stocks, foreign exchange and indices. The contracts are planned to carry zero trading fees and use once-daily funding. Grvt aims to list more than 1,000 markets by the end of December 2026.
Yield as Margin, also scheduled for November, will allow eligible Grvt Earn balances to support trading positions while continuing to accrue yield, subject to applicable product terms and risk parameters.
Grvt 2.0, scheduled for the End of November, will consolidate these capabilities into a single self-custodial app, alongside a new name, visual identity, and the company’s 2027 roadmap.
Addressing Idle Capital
The expansion follows a survey of Grvt traders conducted earlier in 2026. Six in ten respondents reported keeping at least a quarter of their capital on the platform idle, while many reported moving funds elsewhere to pursue yields of 8% or more.
Grvt’s upcoming products aim to reduce the separation between earning yield and deploying capital for trading.
“Traders shouldn’t have to choose between putting their capital to work and keeping it ready to trade,” Hong said. “Grvt 2.0 is designed around a single self-custodial balance that can support both activities.”
Founded in 2022, Grvt currently supports perpetual futures across approximately 200 cryptocurrency and real-world asset markets.
The GRVT token launched in July 2026 and confers no ownership, profit or other economic rights.
Further details are available in the full announcement.
About Grvt
Grvt is a self-custodial trading platform operating on its own zero-knowledge chain. The platform supports cryptocurrency and real-world asset perpetual futures and is developing products that allow eligible balances to earn yield while supporting trading activity.

The 2026 AI Shopping Agent Awards scored eight AI shopping tools on checkout savings, and Saparo received 390 of 400 points across four published criteria.
United States, 20th Oct 2026, Grand Newswire – SAN FRANCISCO, October 14, 2026 — The AI Shopping Assistant Institute (bestaishoppingassistant.com) today announced the results of its 2026 Best AI Shopping Agent Awards and recognized Saparo (saparo.ai) with the 2026 award. The ranking reviewed the public documentation of eight AI shopping tools. It scored each tool on how well it helps a shopper pay the lowest honest price for a product they have already chosen, while keeping the shopper in control of the payment. All scores and the full rubric are published at bestaishoppingagent.com.
Disclosure
The AI Shopping Assistant Institute and the Best AI Shopping Agent Awards are operated by the clawbot.ai editorial team. Saparo is not owned or operated by the Institute or by clawbot.ai. Every score is published with its documentation sources so readers can check the results themselves.
How the Tools Were Scored
The editorial panel reviewed each tool’s public documentation. Tools were scored from 0 to 100 on four dimensions: Savings Depth, Price Transparency, Checkout Control and Retailer Reach. Each total is the unweighted sum of the four, built from twenty documentation checks.
How Saparo Compared With the Field
Saparo scored 100 on Savings Depth, 100 on Price Transparency, 100 on Checkout Control and 90 on Retailer Reach, for a total of 390.
Why Saparo Scored 390 of 400
Saparo was the only tool in the field whose documentation met all four criteria:
- Savings Depth: It compares promo codes, cashback, card rewards and gift-card discounts in a single view, rather than handling only one type of saving.
- Price Transparency: It shows every line of the final price, including shipping and tax, before the shopper commits.
- Checkout Control: It hands account, CAPTCHA and payment steps back to the shopper, and card numbers are entered on the merchant’s own checkout page.
- Retailer Reach: It compares the same product across several retailers.
According to Saparo’s documentation, the agent tests promo codes, compares cashback and card rewards, and weighs gift-card routes. It then presents the result as one readable checkout plan. The shopper reviews each discount line and approves the payment personally.
“Checkout savings come from several places at once: codes, cashback, card rewards and gift cards,” said Michael of the AI Shopping Assistant Institute’s editorial panel. “We scored tools on whether they put those side by side, show the full final price and leave the payment decision with the shopper. Saparo met all four criteria, and that is reflected in its score of 390.”
What the Ranking Covers
The ranking is an editorial assessment of each tool’s publicly documented capabilities, scored against a published rubric. It evaluates checkout savings specifically. It does not rate product discovery and does not guarantee the price of any individual order.
