Arch Network is building the rails for a Bitcoin-denominated world. Through their novel execution environment called the ArchVM, they enable developers to access base layer Bitcoin and UTXO assets—without bridging or wrapping coins. Backed by leading investors including Pantera Capital and Multicoin Capital, Arch introduces smart contract functionality directly on Bitcoin using a Rust-based zero-knowledge virtual machine and decentralized verifier network for parallel execution with zero-knowledge proof transaction verification.
