Its been especially busy in the Raylsway station this week.
Check the board, more to come.
Over 10M $RLS burned today.
That takes total burns to 68.6M $RLS, permanently removed from supply.
It rounds off a big week for $RLS. Investors and team extended their vesting, and together with Parfin's lock-up, 1.12B fewer $RLS will unlock through 2027.
And with over 267M $RLS now staked, more than double since early September, more of the supply is helping secure the network.
The Rayls Transparency Portal provides public access to these figures, allowing anyone to verify them onchain.
Big news for the community.
Parfin, Team and Investors re-affirm their commitment to Rayls- ahead of more milestones dropping this quarter.
But where do people get better music for their animated videos?
Rayls Investors and Team have extended the vesting of their $RLS allocations.
Their tokens will now unlock monthly over four years from May 2027, replacing the unlock originally planned for December 2026.
Together with @parfin_io's lock-up extension announced in August, the two locks combined mean ≈1.2B less $RLS in circulation through 2027, around 25% less than originally planned.
It also means over half a billion $RLS will remain locked in December 2026.
The result is slower, smoother $RLS unlocks, reinforcing the long-term alignment between Rayls' early backers, its core builders, and the wider community.
Watch the full breakdown of the new schedule.

Crypto has spent years building the infrastructure. But what will actually bring the next 100 million users onchain?
From payments and consumer apps to better user experiences, we're exploring what it will take to make Web3 mainstream.

Very excited for this one.
A lot of unseen work goes on behind the scenes to get to this point.
Each finish line is a new starting line.
The race to Top 20 Chain TVL starts now.
Congrats to Canopy on a successful TGE.
I am excited to collab on some campaigns to bring our communities closer together.
Canopy is partnering with @RaylsLabs.
Rayls is the EVM Layer 1 connecting institutions to blockchain liquidity, with built-in privacy and compliance. Canopy is the agent-native development framework for launching sovereign onchain apps.
Together, we're bringing the Canopy and Rayls communities closer through shared initiatives, education and community activations.
This is the start. More to come.

Yesterday at Febraban Tech, João Pirola co-founder and CPO at AmFi came by our booth.
We’ve now agreed engineering timelines for bringing AmFi’s $400m on-chain book onto Rayls under our existing agreement. Work starts in September.
We also agreed to expand the scope of what we’re building together (more on that in the next couple of weeks - it’s part of a larger announcement related to Rayls vaults).

Reuters has covered the launch of Rayls Sovereign.
The coverage explores how financial institutions can bring assets and transaction activity onchain while maintaining the privacy, control and compliance requirements of existing financial infrastructure
As Sovereign becomes publicly available, we’re proud to see this next chapter of institutional blockchain infrastructure covered by one of the world’s leading financial news organizations.
Read the full @Reuters coverage below 👇
Thanks to the whole team for their work on launching Sovereign today.
This is the culmination of over 2 years work with 30 financial institutions, resulting in architecture, performance and interoperability, worthy of celebrating with current and future clients at @FEBRABANTECH.
The wait for institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure is over.
Today, we’re launching Rayls Sovereign: rayls.com/products/sovereign
A private blockchain that gives each financial institution its own sovereign ledger.
It runs inside the institution’s own perimeter, integrates with existing banking and treasury systems, and connects to private networks and public liquidity.
The underlying platform has been in production since June 2024, with 30+ financial institutions installing and using it across tokenised deposits, stablecoins, tokenised assets, and regulated settlement.
Soon.
Rayls staking opens to everyone this Thursday.
For the first time, every $RLS holder can delegate to a validator and earn rewards while helping secure the Rayls Public Chain.
Staking launches at 18% APY, with a dynamic reward model planned as network participation grows.

I highly recommend everyone watches this.
XP is a massive company, a Nasdaq listed (ticker $XP ), regulated financial institution with $330 billion in assets under management.
Rayls is a core part of their digital assets strategy, and although it was challenging to get their Marcos Horie, who leads their digital asset strategy to this AMA due to conflicting agendas, I am happy to see it worked out in the end!
We’ll be joined by Marcos Horie from XPInc, and @mcvviriato to discuss how institutional finance is making the leap onchain.
Together, we’ll explore what it takes to bring blockchain into the world’s largest financial institutions.

Put your $RLS to work.
Delegated Staking is now live on Rayls, with access reserved for early supporters who participated in the pre-commit and liquidity seeding campaigns.
Eligible participants can stake $RLS, help secure the Rayls Public Chain, and access boosted 55% APY for the first three months.
To make participation easier, the Rayls Foundation has sent 1 $USDr to eligible wallets to cover staking fees for the community that backed Rayls early.

Infrastructure matters.
Distribution matters.
@liqvid_xyz is joining Rayls as a launch partner, bringing both.
Liqvid adds compliant private market infrastructure and curated capital access, enabling institutional assets to move from origination to onchain distribution.
Bringing real private market yield onchain requires more than tokenization. It requires capital formation, investor access, and the ability to move capital through compliant rails.
This is what turns infrastructure into real markets.
A big milestone.
But it's another starting line.
We go again tomorrow.
The Rayls Public Chain is now live 🔥
Go to dapp.rayls.com/ to connect Rayls to your wallet.
More dapps and use cases are launching over the next days and weeks.
Bringing Finance Onchain. It starts now.
