Why LitVM?
MidasPredict is built natively on LitVM — the first fully trustless, EVM-compatible Layer-2 rollup for Litecoin. If you've used other L2s like Arbitrum or Base, the experience is similar: fast trades, low gas, and assets secured by a proof-of-work chain.
Architecture
LitVM employs a hybrid optimistic + zero-knowledge rollup design:
Execution: Arbitrum Nitro stack — battle-tested, EVM-compatible, high throughput
ZK validity proofs: Succinct zkVM — cryptographic proofs for ZK-grade economic finality
Sequencing: Espresso decentralized sequencer — sub-100ms pre-confirmations, no single point of failure
Bridging: BitcoinOS / Charms — trustless, non-custodial bridge for LTC and Litecoin-native assets
What It Means for You
Sub-Second Pre-Confirmations
The Espresso sequencer provides sub-100ms pre-confirmations. Daily Markets and high-frequency trading work smoothly.
Sub-Cent Gas Fees
Small, frequent trades don't get eaten by gas. Micro-bets are viable. Points earnings aren't offset by fees.
EVM Compatibility
LitVM is fully EVM-compatible. MetaMask, Solidity contracts, and the entire Ethereum tooling ecosystem work out of the box.
Litecoin Settlement Security
At maturity, LitVM settles to Litecoin L1, inheriting Litecoin's proof-of-work consensus security. MidasPredict's market resolutions ultimately anchor to one of the oldest and most decentralized blockchain networks.
