ChainCatcher news, OKX Ventures announced an investment in the Bitcoin-native application and smart contract platform Arch Network.OKX Ventures founder Dora stated, "We are excited to invest in Arch Network, a Bitcoin-native application platform that draws inspiration from SVM (Solana Virtual Machine), utilizing parallelization and integrated zero-knowledge proof (ZK Proof) technology to facilitate dynamic, Turing-complete smart contracts on Bitcoin. This novel approach greatly enhances user experience and the trust assumptions of Bitcoin users, achieving a smooth, frictionless experience while maintaining a trustless relationship with dApps and protocols."It is reported that Arch is the first Bitcoin-native application platform—offering cross-chain-free DeFi on the world's largest blockchain. The Arch Network is a parallelized proof-of-stake network that uses zk-proofs to enhance Bitcoin's native programmability. The network consists of a Rust-based zkVM (called ArchVM) and a decentralized validation network. These components together form a trustless execution environment directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, enabling a bridge-free transaction experience.

ChainCatcher news, Bitcoin native application platform Arch Network has completed a $7 million seed round financing, led by Multicoin Capital, with participation from OKX Ventures, Big Brain Holdings, Portal Ventures, CMS Holdings, and Tangent.According to the Web3 asset data platform RootData, Arch introduces smart contract functionality directly into Bitcoin through an innovative architecture that utilizes the Rust-based zero-knowledge virtual machine ArchVM, paired with a decentralized validator network.
