What is the SVM?

The virtual machine powering Solana’s high-throughput blockchain

The Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) serves as the execution environment for the Solana blockchain, managing smart contract deployment, transaction processing, and state updates. Similar to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), the SVM is modular, allowing it to integrate with components like data availability and consensus layers to create networks with minimal modification.

FAQs

What makes the SVM attractive for developers?

The SVM offers developers a highly scalable environment with the ability to process thousands of transactions per second with low block times and cheap transaction fees. It also supports Rust, which is known for its speed and safety. Lastly, the SVM’s modular architecture enables easy integration with other networks.

What are the differences between smart contracts on the SVM and the EVM?

The primary differences are the execution speed and programming language. While both the SVM and EVM execute smart contracts, the SVM leverages Solana’s parallel execution, allowing it to process multiple transactions simultaneously. As a result, SVM-based smart contracts can be faster and more cost-effective than their EVM counterparts.

What kinds of projects are building on the SVM?

The SVM is being utilized by a wide range of projects. These include layer-2 solutions like Eclipse, infrastructure platforms like Metaplex, and superapps like Mantis. The SVM's capabilities make it ideal for projects with high user activity and the need for cheap transactions.

How does the Rust programming language differ from Solidity?

Rust is a programming language that's great for complex, high-performance applications where security and speed are critical. Solidity is easier to learn and more specialized for creating smart contracts. Essentially, Rust offers fine-grained control and optimization, while Solidity prioritizes ease of use within the Ethereum ecosystem.
