A newcomer Rayls blockchain launched on Thursday. WhatՉ۪s aiming to combine traditional and decentralized finance ecosystems. This new blockchain focuses on solving longstanding issues like privacy, scalability, and interoperability. These issues have kept financial institutions from fully using blockchain technology.
Rayls, a new blockchain system, launched today. It enables financial institutions to use blockchain technology to innovate and thrive in the digital era. This unique EVM blockchain has a goal to connect both permissioned and permissionless ecosystems.
