Arch Network is a bridgeless execution platform that brings smart contract programmability directly to Bitcoin's base layer without requiring Layer 2s or bridges. It employs ArchVM, an extended eBPF virtual machine derived from Solana's SBF toolchain, enabling deterministic Rust-compiled programs to interact directly with Bitcoin's UTXO model. The network uses a delegated proof-of-stake verifier consensus model (dPoS) with innovative threshold multisig schemes (FROST + ROAST) to securely finalize transactions on Bitcoin, preserving Bitcoin's security and liquidity while extending its utility and programmability. Arch enables developers to build performant decentralized applications and smart contracts directly on Bitcoin with native Bitcoin settlement and without asset migration or wrapping.
