What is Arch Network

Arch is a bridgeless execution platform that enhances Bitcoin’s capabilities by enabling fast, secure, and fully-verifiable “smart contracts.” In the Arch ecosystem, "smart contracts" are called programs.

The Arch architecture has three core components:

A specialized Arch VM handling state changes and complex off-chain computations
A decentralized Proof-of-Stake Verifier Network that incentivizes validators to provide infrastructure and security through the (upcoming) Arch token.
A novel FROST + ROAST multisig architecture that creates the framework for conditional execution necessary for enabling programmability without removing assets from the Bitcoin base layer.

Arch enables DeFi and other significant use cases on Bitcoin by unlocking bridgeless, trust-minimized programmability through its novel VM and Decentralized Verifier Network architecture. Its parallel execution layer creates breakthrough opportunities to build the next generation of dApps on the world’s most valuable blockchain without sacrificing the decentralization principles that are critical to the Bitcoin community.
