BVM Studio has been introduced as a new tool to simplify blockchain deployment with a no-code solution that aims to make blockchain technology more accessible.
The tool will provide a visual programming editor interface that enables users to deploy their blockchains using drag-and-drop blocks, similar to Lego building blocks.
The approach promises to facilitate the creation of any project’s own zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup blockchain without coding knowledge, computational setup, storage, or hardware nodes.
Speaking with Cointelegraph, the BVM team, a blockchain-as-a-service infrastructure provider and creator of BVM Studio, explained that, though “highly convenient,” the tool does have drawbacks.
“[...] it may not offer the same depth of customization as fully custom-coded solutions. However, we’re constantly adding new modules and options to enhance flexibility.”
Codeless self-service blockchains
Traditionally, deploying a blockchain requires technical knowledge, funding, and a strong foundational understanding of coding and security measures.
Speaking with Cointelegraph, the BVM team clarified the capabilities of the new self-service tool.
“[It] requires no technical setup or coding skills, making it accessible to everyone. It offers a no-code, drag-and-drop interface that allows anyone to deploy a blockchain in less than 2 minutes.”
The team explained that the tool enables customization of the “base layer, hardware, compute, data availability, block gas limit, withdrawal time, ZK prover,” and pre-installed decentralized applications (DApps).
Security and regulatory standards
As with all blockchain technology, security is paramount, and it starts with the code behind blockchain infrastructure.
The tool uses ZK-rollup technology to secure deployed blockchains “by having three key components.”
“ZK-proofs stored on Bitcoin, ZK Provers to ensure correct execution, and ZK Light Nodes to verify ZK-proofs. This is important because anyone can run a ZK Light Node on an old laptop.”
When discussing regulatory considerations, the BVM team explained that “currently, creating a blockchain doesn’t conflict with any regulatory standards.”
“BVM Studio is just a tool to make it much easier to build a blockchain.”
Using the tool, users will be able to deploy layer-1, layer-2 and layer-3 blockchains on both Bitcoin and ethereum.
