Layer 2 for tokenized real-world assets (Jovay)

Jovay is a layer 2 built and run by Ant Digital Technologies, the technology arm of Ant Group, for tokenized real-world assets; it uses ETH for fees and has no token of its own. Ant Digital's own release of 15 July 2025 announced only its testnet, with the mainnet expected in the fourth quarter, and no Ant statement on the mainnet launch has been found, so the launch date rests on secondary sources: the chain's first block is dated 20 September 2025, L2BEAT has tracked its batches on Ethereum since 22 September 2025, and OpenZeppelin announced on 26 September 2025 that it had audited it. Ant Digital runs the sequencer, and new states are accepted on the attestation of a permissioned trusted execution environment, with no validity or fraud proofs, so L2BEAT lists it among Others rather than as a rollup, and it archived its page on 27 May 2026. Its contract on Ethereum was still receiving a batch every hour on 7 October 2026. Also: OpenZeppelin, 26 September 2025.
