LiteForge has settled hundreds of millions of transactions across millions of addresses since its April 2026 genesis, sustaining 4M+ per day. Throughput is well established and readable on-chain at any time.
Mainnet is reported to be gated on independent security audits. Auditors and reports have not been published yet, and LitVM's roadmap describes its phases without naming them. We'll link the reports here as they become available.
Two bridges ship together: the BitcoinOS Grail bridge for trustless LTC, and the Arbitrum Bridge for ETH and ERC-20 assets. LitVM describes Grail as non-custodial with 1/n security — a single honest participant is enough to keep it sound, rather than a multisig majority.
The rollout is published as three phases: Ethereum settlement with dual bridges, then Litecoin proof anchoring — batches inscribed to Litecoin with no protocol changes required — and finally migration to native Litecoin settlement. Useful context for anyone expecting Litecoin settlement on day one: that arrives at phase three.
The three rollout phases are documented in detail, with dates still to be announced. Any timing circulating elsewhere is an estimate rather than a published date. This page watches for a mainnet chain ID, RPC and explorer, and will report one the hour it appears.
How to read this section. Rather than compress everything into a single readiness percentage, each line shows what can be checked on-chain today and what is still awaiting public detail. Every label links to the source it rests on, and lines are updated as more is published — so this stays a live picture of what is known, not an estimate of what comes next.
LitVM runs a dedicated builders portal — the official starting point for teams deploying to the network.
LiteForge runs the Shanghai EVM, so existing Solidity, Foundry and Hardhat workflows carry over. A few Arbitrum Orbit behaviours differ from Ethereum mainnet though, and they are the kind that pass tests and fail in production:
block.number returns an approximate Ethereum L1 block, not the LitVM blockblockhash() is not cryptographically secure — use an oracle for randomnessblock.difficulty and block.prevrandao both return the constant 1The docs cover each in full, including address aliasing for cross-chain messages.
