What is Arch Network?

Arch Network is a bitcoin-native application platform that introduces smart contract functionality directly into Bitcoin through a novel architecture. It leverages a Rust-based zero-knowledge virtual machine, known as the ArchVM, along with a decentralized verifier network, collectively referred to as the Arch Network. The ArchVM is inspired by SVM (Single Virtual Machine) and is designed for parallel execution, incorporating zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) for transaction verification.
