GRVT Unveils Retail Price Improvement Orders, Bringing Fairer Execution to DeFi Traders

Hybrid exchange GRVT has rolled out a new feature designed to enhance the trading experience for retail users: onchain Retail Price Improvement (RPI) orders. The upgrade delivers better execution prices than those shown on the public order book—without sacrificing self-custody or transparency.

The system works by scanning for improved pricing behind the scenes before finalizing a trade. If a better quote exists, the order is automatically filled at that superior rate. The feature is now live on GRVT’s web and Android platforms, offering traders a simple, intuitive way to tap into institutional-grade execution.

What makes GRVT’s RPI different is its structure. Orders are matched with select market makers in a protected liquidity pool—not accessible to bots or arbitrage algorithms—ensuring retail users get priority access to enhanced pricing without unfair competition.

“With this launch, we’re redefining what retail execution can look like in a DeFi-first world,” said Hong Yea, CEO of GRVT. “Price improvement isn’t just a TradFi feature—it’s a principle we believe should be native to self-custodial trading too.”

Built on a hybrid architecture, GRVT combines the speed of off-chain matching with on-chain settlement, giving users CEX-like performance with DeFi-native control.

The exchange is also kicking off a “tap and trade” contest to showcase the benefits of its RPI feature, rewarding users who explore the new functionality.

As DeFi continues to evolve, GRVT’s RPI launch signals a shift toward more equitable and efficient trading environments—where retail participants aren’t just along for the ride, but actually have the edge.
