Introducing Rialo:
A Blockchain Built for the Real World
Bitcoin created digital scarcity. Ethereum introduced programmable trust. Fast chains followed, all racing to be faster on paper.
And yet, most new users still quit near the starting line.
Why? Because Web3 apps still feel clunky, slow, and disconnected. Users want experiences as seamless and essential as Uber, Instagram, or WhatsApp. But today, even simple actions bring too many steps, too much friction, and too little reliability.
This isn’t the decentralized world we promised to ourselves. We decided to start over.
Introducing Rialo.
Rialo is the real-world blockchain: a decentralized, high-performance and ergonomic programming network that interacts with real life.
Two decades ago, the flip phone evolved when GPS, cameras, and internet connectivity were all embedded into one device: the smartphone. Suddenly, new UX and new categories of apps became possible. Uber. Instagram. WhatsApp.
Rialo brings that convergence to blockchain.
What Went Wrong
Despite the great TPS of new chains, adoption remains frustratingly limited. The reason is clear: not everyone wants to leave the comforts of Web2 to access Web3.
Today’s blockchains exist as islands, blind to real-world events. They can’t directly interact with the rich ecosystem of real-world services, honed over decades. Onboarding to Web3 apps can feel clunky and unintuitive. Going onchain is reserved for a tiny fraction of people who are bold enough to navigate its complexities.
In order to break through to regular people, we believe that Web3 MUST come to Web2, where the real world lives and users onboard.
Rialo closes the divide. With real-world capabilities, Rialo finally lets devs build decentralized apps that feel like easy-to-use modern software, not a house of cards.
Because without a real connection to the real world, the whole experience falls apart:
Users, you surely face problems like these:
- Interop Woes: Switching networks multiple times in a day, you’ve held your breath as tokens crossed rickety bridges and dealt with an alphabet soup of wrapped assets.
- Wallets as Bottlenecks: Everything happens within a fragmented wallet ecosystem, where UX is nightmarish and you need to constantly sign transactions.
- Unpredictable Costs: Transaction fees can spike outrageously on a dime, and sandwich attacks can come from nowhere to drain your balances. When oracles glitch, your positions could even be wrongly liquidated.
- Abandoning Your Social Identity: You’ve spent years building up a following on platforms like TikTok and X. Why should you have to start over in crypto? Why can’t your social identity come with you?
- You Need to Be Always On: Set your alarms for 3 AM NFT drops and token presales, because crypto is global and doesn't care about your beauty sleep.
- The Most Expensive Piece of Paper: In Web2, you get an added layer of security through 2FA so that when your password is leaked, your access is safeguarded. In Web3, where wallet hacks are rampant and irreversible, 2FA isn’t just a convenience. It’s a necessity long overdue.
Developers, you’ll recognize these issues:
- Drowning in Integrations: You spend 10% of your time writing actual business logic. The rest is spent wrestling with third-party integrations and brittle off-chain services draining your runway.
- Reads Hurt: 200ms finality latency? Great. But your data crawls through endless layers of validators, fullnodes, indexers, and backend services, taking seconds or longer to reach users. Your apps glitch, users stare at stale data. Your system is only as fast as its slowest part.
- Endless Monitoring, Fragile Reactions: You deploy dedicated services that tirelessly monitor real-world or onchain states and trigger precisely timed transactions. Yet the moment congestion hits, your transaction vanishes, unless you pay a hefty tip.
- Expensive Indexers: You're forced to run expensive fullnodes and indexing infrastructure, paying thousands monthly to cloud providers, all just to access a tiny slice of real-time data.
- The Oracle Tax: Need custom feeds onchain? Oracle services charge thousands daily. Even worse, when they fail to land transactions, you are forced to swallow bad debt.
Bridges the Necessary Evil: You’re forced to insert bridges into your trust model, immediately degrading the robust security provided by the Layer One. Every bridge opens a door to exploits and weakens your entire system. But what choice do you have?
These problems are symptoms of a deeper issue.
For years, blockchain developers have been stuck in performance theater, obsessively chasing vanity metrics like TPS while losing sight of real problems. Faster chains alone can't fix broken user experiences, developer frustrations, and disconnected infrastructure.
Path dependencies brought us here, but they won’t take us any further. It’s time to rethink from the roots, that’s why we’re building a decentralized programmable network that’s intuitive, seamless, and deeply connected to the real world.
The Real World Chain
Rialo is built with today’s problems front and center. It’s not a patchwork of fragmented components, it’s blockchain infrastructure reimagined from the ground up, embodying what decentralized, programmable networks should have been all along: clean, expressive, seamless, and connected.
- Real World Data: Pull live data anywhere with a one-liner HTTPS call in your smart contract.
- Real World Connectivity: Seamless integration with any off chain APIs in your smart contract. One line of code brings your dapp to the world and the world to your dapp.
- Real World Privacy: Fast, affordable, and robust solutions that get the best of both verifiable and confidential execution.
- Real World Identity: Use email, SMS, or social accounts as your Web3 passport. Get a crypto loan with your credit score. Pass on assets with a smart contract will. Welcome to Rialo with your identity.
- Real World Speed: True sub-second e2e latency for users. Fast-tracked GTM for builders.
- Real World Scalability: Infinite scalability that works for global scale, with Multiple Concurrent Proposers and many more
- Real World Reactivity: Lightning fast on chain reactions without expensive off-chain monitoring loops and gas wars. Transactions react instantly, automatically, and reliably.
- Real World Programmability: Welcome Future/Promise/.await, event-driven logic, randomness and other ergonomics to smart contracts. Write a smart contract that sleeps, loops, and resumes. Fully onchain, across blocks, powered by RISC-V.
- Real World Usability: Bring back familiar experiences such as 2FA, scheduled transactions and social logins. Blockchain fades into the background, as it always should have.
- Real World Assets: Bring mainstream and long tail assets on chain. Not just possible, it’s effortless.
- Real World Applications: Build apps that people use every day, beyond speculation.
Rialo is supermodular by design, each capability amplifying the rest. Together, they create a system where the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts. The powerful synergies make apps simpler, faster, and more capable by default.
The Inflection Point
The next generation of builders doesn’t want to babysit indexers, run off-chain bots or switch together endless middleware. They want to build faster and ship smarter.
That’s why many are already building on Rialo. Today, Rialo’s early community consists of elite builders, habitually early adopters, and new apps pushing the boundaries of what a real-world blockchain can do.
What exactly is that?
As with the iPhone’s launch, nobody fully knows yet. But history tells us: when new primitives arrive, new worlds follow.
