LitVM is purposefully built on a field-proven modular stack consisting of Arbitrum Orbit, Espresso’s decentralized sequencing, Succinct’s SP1 zkVM for knowledge-free validity proofs, and BitcoinOS’ Grail Bridge for reliable $LTC connect. This means that every single transaction on the network is handled entirely by hard money and not by a speculative token. CoinMarketCap announced this news via its official social media X account.
CoinMarketCap and LitVM further Litecoin’s journey to Web3 programmability
LitVM has a satisfactory experience of more than 14 years in the field of security and decentralization as its basis. LitVM is capable of bringing Web3 programmability to a global community of millions $LTC holders. LitVM gets good support from the creator of Litecoin, Charlie Lee. This approval underlines LitVM’s acceptance as a productive Web3 extension for the Litecoin ecosystem.
Rush, CEO of CoinMarketCap, expressed his thoughts. He said: “We support LitVM joining the CMC Labs program. Their approach to building an EVM-compatible package on Litecoin is an innovative addition to the broader package landscape. We look forward to working with the team as they develop their ecosystem.” After connecting with CMC Labs, LitVM will gain access to CoinMarketCap’s broader industry expertise.”
Expanding Litecoin’s Global Reach through Web3 Innovation
The combination of CoinMarketCap (CMC) and LitVM is much more productive for crypto holders when it comes to getting the latest information about cryptocurrencies and their changing trends in daily life. This intersection decision of both platforms will help users expand their access and gain insight into the selected cryptocurrency of both markets.
Commenting on this, Aztec Amaya, co-founder of LitVM, said: “Being selected for CMC Labs is a significant milestone for LitVM and the broader Litecoin ecosystem. CoinMarketCap’s reach and resources will play a key role in introducing Hard Money Web3 to millions of new users and builders worldwide. We are excited to work with the CMC team as we prepare to launch the mainnet and grow the LitVM ecosystem.”
