SVM: The Power of Solana Beyond the Blockchain
summary
An extractable Solana VM implementation is available as an svm crate that runs the full transaction pipeline (transaction processor, message processor, VM) outside the validator, exposing a load_execute_sanitized_transactions API plus account loader and program cache. Reference apps include a JSON-RPC service and a paytube state channel that executes many off‑chain transfers and settles minimal changes on‑chain; demo tests reduce four on‑chain transactions to one — a 4 to 1 settling reduction that generalizes to millions→thousands.
