Faster underneath: Reya moves its sequencer to Conduit

The best trade you'll make this week will feel like nothing happened. You decide, you act, and the position is just there, no gap between the thought and the fill. That smoothness is infrastructure doing its job, and you tend to notice it only when it's already cost you something.

Which is why it's worth talking about, just this once.

Speed is a chain, not a switch.

Every order you place runs through a chain of moving parts. Prices arrive, orders sequence, blocks produce, the network settles. When all of it keeps pace, you feel nothing but a clean fill. When one link drags, you feel it as hesitation, at the worst possible time.

That chain is about to matter more. Reya is transitioning from an AMM to an orderbook, and an orderbook asks far more of the infrastructure beneath it than an AMM ever did: more orders, more cancels, more updates every second, all expected to clear without a flicker.

The short version: you don't drop a faster engine onto the same old track and hope. You lay the track first.

So we did. Reya has moved its mainnet sequencer to Conduit, the market leader in production and enterprise custom blockchains. Delivering up to 3x more throughput than our previous setup, and we completed the entire switch inside a single planned window.

What changes for you

• Nothing you have to do: same app, same endpoints, same positions. You didn't move anything, and nothing broke.
• More room when it's loud: up to 3x the throughput, so the system has headroom for the moments when the market rips and everyone trades at once.
• Ready for the orderbook: the foundation an orderbook needs is now in place, before it launches.
• A base you can trust: Conduit runs infrastructure for hundreds of rollups. Reya now runs on the same standard.

"We're excited to partner with Conduit, the market leader in RaaS, as we harden Reya's infrastructure ahead of the orderbook launch. The partnership delivers up to 3x more throughput today, and gives us the strongest possible foundation on the road to Reya Chain."— Simon Jones, CEO, Reya Labs

Why Conduit

Conduit is the market leader in infrastructure for production and enterprise custom blockchains. Reya now runs on their fastest sequencer, a customised build of Arbitrum Orbit tuned to how we trade. Infrastructure like this is invisible right up until it costs you a fill. Our job is to make sure it never does.

Where this fits: the ReyaChain roadmap

Reya has only ever been building one thing: a high throughput, low latency, institutional grade exchange. A venue that executes as fast as anywhere in crypto, but where ordering and settlement inherit Ethereum's security, providing additional guarantees to those who care about it most. The full expression of that is ReyaChain: a zk-verifiable rollup where transaction ordering is carried by Ethereum's own validators, and execution is provable rather than promised.

The reason the destination is a zk-verifiable rollup is not speed for its own sake. It is a conviction that on a trading venue, correctness and ordering should be things you can verify, not things you trust an operator to get right.

That is the destination, and reaching it is a sequence. Performance comes first. Before attacking sequencing and verifiability, the exchange has to be fast, deep and reliable enough that people trust it with size every day. You earn a foundation like that by building something worth securing first.

This migration is that work. Conduit gives Reya the throughput and reliability to run the orderbook and scale the venue now, on infrastructure operated by the category leader. Zk-verifiable execution and rust based clearing comes after that. The partnership with Conduit is how Reya gets there sooner.

Nothing to migrate, nothing to do. Open Reya and trade. It's already faster. → app.reya.xyz
