BSCNews lit up the timeline this morning with a simple but loaded question: "WHAT IS RISE L2'S DRAMATIC NEW VISION?"
The answer? Rise Chain (@risechain) is no longer just another fast Ethereum L2.
They're gunning to become the home for global onchain markets – the layer where professional-grade trading infrastructure lives natively on-chain, with latency and throughput that actually rival centralized exchanges.
And yes, before you ask – this is extremely relevant to meme coin degens too.
The Three-Layer Ecosystem That Changes Everything
Rise is restructuring itself around three distinct layers:
- EVM Execution Layer – The usual Ethereum-compatible base, but pushed to absurd performance (100k+ TPS, sub-3ms block times, 10 Ggas/s throughput).
- Programmable Markets Layer (MarketCore) – This is the real innovation: a native onchain orderbook framework written in Solidity, complete with matching engine, risk controls, and CEX-like APIs. Builders can plug into deep liquid books or launch their own markets permissionlessly.
- App Layer – Where the user-facing magic happens. RISEx, their flagship perpetuals DEX, is already in closed beta and delivering sub-10ms latency with full non-custodial composability.
Translation for the meme crowd:
Imagine listing your new dog coin and having real orderbook liquidity from minute one – no more waiting for Uniswap pools to fill. Or opening 50x leverage on the hottest pumping token without the trade executing after the move is already over.
That's the world Rise is building.
Why This Isn't Just Another L2 Marketing Thread
Most L2s optimize for cheap NFT mints or basic swaps.
Rise went the opposite direction: they stress-tested their chain with 4+ billion transactions this year, survived the infamous "Chain Derby" chaos, and are now shipping tech specifically for latency-sensitive applications.
CEO Sam Battenally put it best:
“RISE MarketCore gives builders access to a low-latency orderbook infra with the programmability and composability of the EVM. Founders can list their tokens permissionlessly, and asset issuers can launch their own markets or entire exchanges.”
Founders can list permissionlessly.
Let that sink in for anyone who's ever tried to get liquidity during a real launch.
What This Means for Meme Coins
Look, Rise isn't marketing itself as "the meme chain" – they're clearly targeting sophisticated DeFi teams and trading firms.
But the side effect is going to be massive for memes.
When the next cult coin goes parabolic, the serious money will be trading it on RISEx with tight spreads and deep books instead of getting front-run on slow AMMs. The leverage wars will move here. The real volume will flow where the speed is.
We've seen this movie before: Base became the meme capital not because it was built for memes, but because it was fast, cheap, and EVM-compatible when everyone needed it.
Rise is about to be faster than anything on Ethereum has ever been.
Timeline Check
- Vision announced: November 13, 2025
- Testnet: Already processed billions of transactions
- RISEx: Closed beta right now
- Mainnet: Literally imminent (as in, any week now)
Final Take
Whether you're building the next professional trading venue or just trying to ape the next 1000x cat token without getting rekt by latency, Rise Chain just put everyone on notice.
This isn't just another L2 scaling solution.
It's the first serious attempt to bring Wall Street-grade market infrastructure fully onchain – while keeping it permissionless and composable.
Keep both eyes on this one.
