Introducing SVM — Steem Virtual Machine

I'm the solo developer behind SVM (Steem Virtual Machine), and I'm excited to share a major update!

What started as a small "what if?" experiment has now become a fully functional, EVM-compatible blockchain, built on Cosmos SDK v0.54 — with live infrastructure, verified contracts, validators, and two block explorers.

** SVM is now open for public testing.**
Developers, validators, and curious Steem users — this is your invitation to explore, break things, and build with me.

What is SVM?

SVM (Steem Virtual Machine) is a production-ready, EVM-compatible blockchain where:

• STEEM is the native gas + staking token
• Built using the official Cosmos EVM module
• Compatible with 100% Ethereum tools & wallets

💡 You can:

• Deploy contracts via Remix / Hardhat / Foundry
• Use MetaMask, WalletConnect, Rabby
• Interact using ethers.js, viem, web3.js

But SVM is not "just another EVM chain" — it's built for Steem, with unique features:

SvmNS — Your Steem Username as Your Wallet

• Maps @yourname → 0xYourEVMAddress
• Verified by validators through consensus
• No more hexadecimal addresses for social users

Every transaction on SVM burns STEEM, creating real utility and deflation.

Chainlink Oracle Compliance

SVM matches all Chainlink integration specifications:

✅ Supports all Solidity block.* globals
✅ Fully Ethereum JSON-RPC compatible (eth_call, eth_sendRawTransaction, eth_getLogs)
✅ Archive data, batch queries, WebSocket (newHeads, logs)
✅ Finality guaranteed — no chain reorganizations

SVM is ready for Chainlink + DeFi integrations.

🆔 Identity Layer — SvmNS

✅ Link your Steem account (@name) to your EVM address
✅ Verified by ≥66% validators (on-chain consensus)
✅ No private servers or custodians — fully decentralized identity mapping

Bridge to STEEM — Community Input Needed!

The biggest challenge now:
How do we safely bridge STEEM → SVM?

Because Steem doesn't have light clients or ZK proofs, the first bridge will use a multisig vault (trusted signers).

Questions for the community:

• How many signers? (7/10? 15/20?)
• Who selects them? Governance vote?
• Should dashboards show bridge reserves transparently?
• Can we later upgrade to TEE + ZK (like TOKI)?

This is a governance decision — not just code.

Why SVM Matters

If done right, SVM can:

✔ Turn STEEM into a gas & DeFi asset
✔ Bring NFTs, DAOs, yield farming, LP staking to Steem users
✔ Enable 0x contracts + @steem usernames on one chain
✔ Burn STEEM with every smart contract transaction
✔ Attract Ethereum developers to a chain with real users

Final Words

SVM isn't here to replace Steem.
It's here to extend Steem — to give it programmable money, DeFi, NFTs, and on-chain identity — all while preserving its social heart.

I'm just the coder.
You will decide where this goes.
