SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires avalanchego, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables developers to build and deploy custom virtual machines on Avalanche, allowing for specialized blockchain logic beyond standard EVM implementations.

Core Features & Use Cases

VM Interface Implementation: Provides the necessary structure for building a custom VM that integrates with Avalanche's consensus engine.
Deployed as a Subnet: Facilitates deploying non-EVM blockchains with unique state machines or consensus models.
Use Case: Deploy a gaming or database blockchain that requires specific transaction validation logic not supported by existing VM options.

Quick Start

Build your custom VM binary, register it with AvalancheGo, and deploy as a Subnet to run specialized blockchain logic.

FAQPage Schema

How do I deploy a custom virtual machine on an Avalanche subnet?▼

To deploy a custom virtual machine on an Avalanche subnet, you must implement the ChainVM interface, build the VM binary, and register it with AvalancheGo's plugin system to run specialized blockchain logic.

When do I need a custom VM instead of an EVM-compatible chain on Avalanche?▼

You need a custom VM when your project requires specialized consensus models or unique transaction validation logic that standard EVM-compatible chains cannot support, such as dedicated gaming or database blockchains.

Does building a custom Avalanche virtual machine require AvalancheGo?▼

Yes, building a custom Avalanche virtual machine requires AvalancheGo as a dependency. Your custom VM must integrate with AvalancheGo's consensus engine and plugin system to function properly as a deployed subnet.

What is the best way to implement custom blockchain state machines in Go?▼

The best way to implement custom blockchain state machines in Go is by building a VM binary that applies the ChainVM interface, enabling native integration with Avalanche's consensus engine for non-EVM deployment.

What are the limitations of using custom virtual machines for Avalanche subnets?▼

Using custom virtual machines for Avalanche subnets limits you to non-EVM environments, requiring advanced implementation of the ChainVM interface and custom transaction validation logic instead of utilizing existing EVM-compatible VM options.
