Modular execution layers map: VMs, rollup SDKs and RaaS
Post234 words
Landscape of modular execution layers grouped by VM (optimistic EVM, zkEVM, MoveVM, SVM, Wasm, FuelVM, Cairo VM), rollup SDKs and RaaS providers. Frames a rollup-centric future of app-specific chains unified by ZK interop.
Key claims
Thousands of app- or vertical-specific chains will be unified by ZK-powered interop

Exciting times are ahead as we head into a rollup-centric future where any use case has it's own state machine and with thousands of app- or vertical-specific chains built on modular technology and unified towards the end user through ZK-powered interop solutions (ZK light clients, state proofs and aggregation layers).
A permissionlessly composable ecosystem of highly optimized modular chains that are customized at every level of the stack and that run diverse VMs, enabling novel use cases on performant, decentralized and secure networks.
Think modular 🧱✨
