Current smart contracts are limited in various ways, including:
Certain logic is too complex to implement on smart contracts in any current blockchain.
Implementing this type of logic outside of the blockchain requires using centralized infrastructure.
Smart contracts are not able to trigger calls to themselves.
Orbs VBM solves these problems and offers the following benefits:
Allows interaction between several blockchains.
Maintains fast cache logic.
Provides decentralized backend infrastructure that complements your Dapp smart contracts.
Please note that you should only use ORBS-VM if you have determined that ORBS-Lambda does not fulfill your Dapp's requirements. For simpler functions, ORBS-Lambda is much easier to set up and maintain.
Your Dapp can benefit from running on a decentralized, permissionless network, instead of centralized services.
Your container is always UP, for as long the Orbs network continues to function.
Your Dapp can utilize the Orbs Network's consensus decisions and data. For example, you can select a particular Orbs Guardian node within ORBS-VM to perform the next action, or elect to split the computed data among several nodes to distribute computation.
You can configure your Dapp's logic to run on ORBS-VM in a few steps:
Wrap your entire logic onto a single docker image
Your container is then gradually deployed to the Orbs Network.
Push the docker image to a public docker repo repo such as
Open a pull request in the v3-ORBS-VM github repository, as described
