Future Roadmap

Arichain's development follows a phased approach to expand Multi-VM support and enhance blockchain interoperability capabilities.

Phase 2: Expanded VM Integration

Additional Virtual Machine Support Building on the foundation of EVM and SVM compatibility, Phase 2 will introduce support for next-generation virtual machines:

  • WebAssembly (WASM) Integration: Native support for WASM-based smart contracts

  • zkVM Support: Zero-knowledge virtual machine integration for privacy-preserving applications

  • TVM: Integration with TON virtual machine

  • Custom VM Framework: Developer tools for integrating custom virtual machine implementations

VM Integration Methods Arichain provides multiple pathways for VM integration to accommodate different use cases and technical requirements:

Native Integration Approach:

  • Protocol-Level Support: Full integration into Arichain's consensus and state management

  • Unified Gas System: Seamless fee calculation across all supported VMs

  • GAID Compatibility: Automatic address derivation for new VM environments

  • Native Token Bridge: ARI token functionality across all integrated VMs

Sidechain Integration Approach:

  • Dedicated Sidechain Deployment: Separate blockchain for specific VM environments

  • Cross-Chain Communication: Secure message passing between main chain and sidechains

  • Validator Set Sharing: Shared security model with main chain validators

  • Selective Integration: Choose specific features to inherit from main chain

Phase 2 Implementation Strategy

Technical Approach Selection The choice between native integration and sidechain deployment depends on several factors:

Integration Type
Use Cases
Benefits

Native Integration

High-frequency trading, DeFi protocols, Gaming

Lower latency, unified UX, shared security

Sidechain Integration

Experimental VMs, specialized applications, Enterprise solutions

Isolated risk, easier deployment, customizable

Community-Driven Expansion

  • VM Proposal Process: Community governance for new VM integration requests

  • Developer Incentives: Grants and rewards for successful VM integration contributions

  • Testing Framework: Comprehensive testing environments for new VM implementations

  • Documentation Standards: Standardized integration guides for VM developers

Long-term Vision

Universal Blockchain Platform Arichain aims to become the universal platform for blockchain development:

  • Any VM, Any Language: Support for all major programming paradigms and virtual machines

  • Seamless Interoperability: Native communication between any two VM environments

  • Unified Developer Experience: Single SDK and toolchain for multi-VM development

  • Global Standard: Industry standard for Multi-VM blockchain architecture

Ecosystem Benefits

  • Developer Freedom: Choose the best VM for each specific use case

  • User Simplicity: Single wallet and identity across all blockchain ecosystems

  • Innovation Acceleration: Faster adoption of new blockchain technologies

  • Risk Mitigation: Reduced dependency on any single virtual machine technology

This roadmap ensures Arichain remains at the forefront of blockchain innovation while maintaining stability and security for existing applications.
