About

Arch Network is a bridgeless execution platform designed to enhance Bitcoin's capabilities by enabling fast, secure, and fully verifiable smart contract-like programs directly on the Bitcoin base layer. Unlike Layer 2 solutions that require asset bridging and can fragment liquidity, Arch allows developers to deploy interoperable applications without compromising Bitcoin's inherent security and liquidity.

Key Features

Bitcoin-Native Programmability
Arch introduces Turing-complete programmability to Bitcoin without the need for bridges or sidechains, allowing developers to build complex applications directly on the Bitcoin network.
Specialized Virtual Machine (Arch VM)
The Arch VM handles state changes and complex off-chain computations, enabling efficient execution of smart contract-like programs while preserving Bitcoin’s security model.
Decentralized Verifier Network
Arch employs a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) verifier network that decentralizes and incentivizes infrastructure and security, ensuring trustless execution of programs.
FROST + ROAST Multisig Architecture
By leveraging advanced multisignature schemes, Arch ensures that actions are executed only with approval from a majority of decentralized verifiers—enhancing security and conditional execution.
Developer-Friendly Environment
Arch provides comprehensive documentation, development tools, and support, making it easy for developers to build and deploy applications on Bitcoin.
