SVM Architecture

Definition

SVM architecture refers to the structural design of the Solana Virtual Machine, which executes smart contracts on the Solana blockchain. This architecture is engineered for high performance, enabling parallel transaction execution and efficient processing of complex decentralized applications. It leverages a unique runtime environment that optimizes for speed and scalability, distinguishing it from other blockchain virtual machines. The SVM facilitates rapid contract deployment and interaction within the Solana ecosystem.
