Arch Network

Arch Network is Bitcoin-native financial infrastructure and a computation environment that lets developers build DeFi and capital-markets applications — lending, yield, trading, and structured products — with settlement kept local to Bitcoin. It executes programmable smart contracts (written in Rust) over Bitcoin UTXOs using a specialized virtual machine and threshold-cryptography (FROST/ROAST) validator security, and exposes a JSON-RPC API with first-party TypeScript and Rust SDKs, a CLI, and an AI agent kit. Surfaced as a portfolio company of Multicoin Capital.

Arch Network is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Crypto Web3, Bitcoin, Blockchain, and DeFi.

Arch Network’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, changelog, CLI, and 7 more developer resources.
