Custom VM Integration

RibbleChain's Layer 3 (L3) rollups support custom Virtual Machines (VMs) like MoveVM or ZKVM, enabling developers to tailor execution environments for specific use cases. This guide explains how to integrate a custom VM into your L3 rollup.

Why Use a Custom VM?​

  • MoveVM: Ideal for resource-oriented programming (e.g., DeFi with secure asset management).
  • ZKVM: Optimized for privacy-preserving computations (e.g., AI model inference).
  • Custom VMs: Enable unique logic or performance optimizations for your dApp.

Prerequisites​

  • Complete the Getting Started Guide.
  • Familiarity with your chosen VM (e.g., MoveVM, ZKVM).
  • RibbleChain CLI and SDK installed.

Step 1: Set Up the Rollup​

Create a rollup project with custom VM support:

ribblechain-cli create-rollup --type custom --vm move --name my-move-rollup
