Subzero Labs is building Rialo, a full-stack network designed to give developers native web connectivity, event-driven transactions, built-in privacy, and infinite scalability so they can ship production-ready decentralized apps with Web2 ease. Rialo leverages RISC-V architecture and adds Solana VM compatibility so teams can deploy existing programs out of the box while gaining richer features. The company says Rialo reduces complexity by making off-chain interaction feel native rather than bolted on, targeting use cases from tokenized assets and prediction markets to global trading and AI agent orchestration. Subzero Labs emerged from stealth and has a private devnet live while onboarding early development partners and operating a waitlist for broader testing. The founding team includes Ade Adepoju and Lu Zhang, veterans who previously worked on Mysten Labs and Diem and who have recruited engineers from top Web2 and Web3 firms. The company has raised $20M in an initial financing round to support product development and go-to-market activities.
