KVM Becomes the New Execution Layer for Smart Contracts
Zurich, Switzerland , Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Klever today announced the new update of the Klever Virtual Machine (KVM) — a new, high-performance execution layer for smart contracts built in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly (WASM).
This upgrade marks a major milestone in the evolution of the Klever Blockchain, introducing a secure, scalable, and developer-friendly environment for building decentralized applications and advanced on-chain automation.
Smarter, Faster, and Safer Smart Contracts
With KVM, developers can now deploy and execute smart contracts directly on the Klever Blockchain based on Rust — one of the most secure and memory-efficient languages available.
The new execution layer delivers faster performance, predictable gas usage, and enhanced safety compared to traditional EVM-based systems.
This upgrade also unlocks a range of innovations designed to strengthen the entire ecosystem:
- Semi-Fungible Tokens (SFTs): programmable assets that can evolve with usage — perfect for tickets, memberships, or in-game items.
- Ethereum Bridge: enabling cross-chain interoperability between ERC-20 tokens and the Klever Blockchain with low fees and fast confirmation.
- KDA Pool Deposit Smart Contract: allows projects and partners to fund fee pools for their dApps, improving user experience with frictionless transactions.
- VS Code Extension: empowers developers to write, test, and deploy smart contracts directly in Visual Studio Code.
- KleverScan Contract Area: a new interface for transparency and verification of on-chain Smart Contracts.
Together, these enhancements deliver a complete foundation for developers to build, audit, and deploy real-world use cases on-chain — from marketplaces and DeFi protocols to tokenized assets and games.
Key Benefits of the KVM Update
- High Performance: Rust-based execution enables faster runtime and lower resource consumption.
- Enhanced Security: Memory-safe architecture minimizes vulnerabilities common in legacy smart-contract platforms.
- Multi-Language Potential: Future updates will add support for additional languages that compile to WASM.
- Developer-First Tools: Integrated SDKs and VS Code extension simplify the entire development lifecycle.
- Cross-Chain Connectivity: Seamless bridge with Ethereum and upcoming support for TRON expands liquidity and adoption.
