General Architecture Overview

This section provides a comprehensive overview of Arichain's innovative architecture for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Arichain represents a paradigm shift in blockchain technology by seamlessly integrating multiple virtual machine environments within a single, unified blockchain infrastructure.

Introduction to Arichain

Arichain is designed to solve one of the most significant challenges in the blockchain ecosystem: the fragmentation between different virtual machine environments. Currently, developers must choose between Ethereum's rich smart contract ecosystem and Solana's high-performance execution model. Arichain eliminates this choice by providing native support for both EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and SVM (Solana Virtual Machine) within a single blockchain. And there will be more VMs on our system in future.

Key Value Propositions

Unified Development Experience: Developers can leverage the best features of both Ethereum and Solana ecosystems without compromising on performance or compatibility.

Seamless Asset Interoperability: Native Multi-VM token transfers without external bridges, reducing complexity and security risks.

Universal Identity System: A single wallet address works across all supported virtual machines, providing a unified user experience.

Performance at Scale: Combining Solana's high throughput with Ethereum's mature tooling ecosystem.

Target Use Cases

  • DeFi Applications: Leverage Ethereum's mature DeFi protocols with Solana's speed for high-frequency trading

  • Enterprise Solutions: Deploy complex business logic on EVM while handling high-volume transactions on SVM

  • Cross-Chain Applications: Build applications that span multiple virtual machine environments natively
