Overview
What is LitVM?
LitVM is Litecoin’s Virtual Machine. It is an EVM-compatible rollup built on the Arbitrum Nitro/Orbit stack that adds smart contracts, DeFi, and Web3 apps to Litecoin. It uses zero-knowledge technology so that LTC holders can access yield, tokenized real-world assets, and on-chain apps without leaving Litecoin.
Charlie Lee, who created Litecoin, supports the project. The main point is simple: LTC holders don’t have as many DeFi options as Ethereum or Solana holders do, and LitVM wants to change that. There is already a prediction market, a DeFi dashboard, and a token launchpad on the LiteForge testnet, which went live on April 15, 2026.
