Definition ∞ MultiVM support refers to the capability of a blockchain or smart contract execution environment to process and run code written for multiple distinct virtual machine architectures. This allows developers to deploy applications written in various programming languages and for different underlying virtual machines on a single platform. It significantly broadens the development ecosystem and interoperability potential.
Context ∞ The ongoing development of MultiVM support is a key area of focus for blockchain interoperability and developer experience enhancement. Current debates center on the efficiency and security implications of running diverse virtual machines within a unified framework. Future advancements are expected to improve compatibility, reduce execution overhead, and enable more complex cross-platform application development.
