What is the ArchVM?
The ArchVM is a high-performance execution environment purpose-built for Bitcoin.
It offers:
Sub-second block times for a smooth user experience
Parallelized execution for institutional-grade throughput
UTXO-awareness, allowing direct Bitcoin settlement
Composability between applications, unlike siloed L2s
It’s effectively the virtual machine Bitcoin never had, bringing the performance of Solana to the world’s most trusted asset.
What can be built on Arch?
Arch supports everything from institutional finance to retail DeFi:
RWA issuance and settlement: Bonds, credit, real estate
Money markets: BTC-backed lending and yield vaults
DEXs and structured products: Tokenized portfolios, AMMs
Consumer protocols: iGaming, prediction markets, launchpads
Art and collectibles: Ordinals, Runes, and digital art liquidity
If it can be built on Ethereum, it can be built on Bitcoin, but natively.
How does Arch handle transaction speed and finality?
Soft confirmations: Under one second (via Arch consensus)
Final settlement: On Bitcoin block inclusion
Rollback and Reapply: If Bitcoin reorgs occur, Arch deterministically reverts only affected transactions, maintaining consistency and uptime.
The result is institutional-grade performance combined with Bitcoin-grade security.
How can institutions and developers get involved?
Institutions: Reach out to the Arch team to issue or integrate tokenized assets on Bitcoin.
