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?
Lending unlocks everything. Scalable Bitcoin-backed credit is the foundation for derivatives, structured products, and yield — none of which exist on Bitcoin today because the risk infrastructure hasn't existed.
Arch combines a vertically integrated product suite with high-performance deterministic execution and Bitcoin settlement to scale Bitcoin-backed credit — the missing foundation for Bitcoin capital markets. With scalable credit in place, higher-order financial products follow: structured notes, derivatives, and a new market built entirely around Bitcoin collateral.
Structured Products, Derivatives
Repo Markets
RWAs, ETFs
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?
