Arch Network is a Bitcoin-native application platform that brings smart contract functionality directly to Bitcoin through an innovative architecture. It utilizes a Rust-based zero-knowledge virtual machine called the ArchVM, along with a decentralized verifier network that together form the Arch ecosystem.
Inspired by the Single Virtual Machine (SVM) model, the ArchVM supports parallel execution and integrates zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to ensure secure and verifiable transactions.
