Part 3: Unpacking Turbo VM

Derivio’s Turbo VM: The Game-Changing Virtual Machine

Virtual Machines (VMs) are the backbone of blockchain technology, enabling the execution of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) by providing a secure and isolated environment. However, many existing VMs, such as Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Solana's Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF), encounter limitations in terms of scalability, performance, and security. These VMs often struggle with handling high transaction volumes, ensuring consistent execution, and protecting sensitive data from public exposure.

Common issues with general-purpose VMs include:

  • Gameable Metrics: Optimizing for metrics like transactions per second (TPS) that don’t address real user needs.

  • Inefficient Operations: Forcing single-step operations to be split into multiple transactions, causing delays and inefficiencies.

  • Limited Primitives: Using low-level primitives like integers and floats that are not suitable for complex financial computations.

  • Public Call Data: Exposing call data publicly, making it easy for malicious actors to exploit.

  • Centralized Dependencies: Relying on centralized or off-chain components, which undermines decentralization.

Current limitations compromise both performance and decentralization in on-chain trading. Derivio has a profound understanding of the impact of these limitations affecting stakeholders on both sides. To overcome these hurdles, we developed Turbo VM, a revolutionary VM tailored to confront these challenges directly. By incorporating features like the highest orders-per-second (OPS), atomic invariants for guaranteed consistency, a runtime-native modular architecture for high performance, and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) shielding for advanced security,

Derivio’s innovative VM brings unmatched speed, flexibility, and security to the table, making it the perfect choice for both users and developers.

Why Choose Turbo VM?

For Users:

  • Performance and Speed: Turbo VM’s high OPS and native execution capabilities mean faster transaction processing and a smoother user experience. This is particularly beneficial for traders and other users who rely on quick and efficient transaction handling.

  • Security: FHE shielding secures sensitive trading data. Users can trade with peace of mind, knowing their strategies and positions are not exposed to others.

  • Real Decentralization: Unlike other solutions that compromise on decentralization for speed, Turbo VM offers true decentralization without sacrificing performance. This ensures transparency and trust in the system.

For Developers:

  • Flexibility: Developers can benefit from Turbo VM’s modularity, allowing them to add and upgrade native modules easily. This means they can develop and deploy new features without being constrained by the limitations of traditional VMs.

  • High Performance: By leveraging native execution, developers can build applications that run faster and more efficiently. This is particularly important for applications requiring high computational power and low latency.

  • Advanced Data Structures: Turbo VM uses trading-centric data structures and instructions, such as asset prices and position sizes, optimizing them for performance. This allows developers to create more robust and efficient financial applications.
