hanzo-dev 70a23338b0 evm: cgo is not a claim that luxcpp is installed
The evm plugin turns cgo on for blst. Doing so also pulled in two
optional native backends keyed on bare cgo, neither of which a build
host carries by default, so `go build ./evm` needed a luxcpp and a
luxgpu install or it did not compile:

  # github.com/luxfi/chains/evm/cevm
  # [pkg-config --cflags -- lux-cevm lux-crypto-secp256k1]
  Package lux-cevm was not found in the pkg-config search path.

  # github.com/luxfi/accel/ops/code
  code_cpu.go:102:10: fatal error: lux/gpu/hqc.h:
  No such file or directory

Both are the same conflation: "a C compiler exists" is being written
where "this C library is installed" is meant. evm/cevm gets the second
predicate it was missing, lux_cevm_native, and accel v1.3.2 restores
lux_hqc_native on its side. cevm_nocgo.go and cevm_secp256k1_nocgo.go
already mirrored the full API for exactly this case, so the default
build takes them and reports CPUSequential; -tags=lux_cevm_native links
libevm/libevm-gpu unchanged.

The tests move with the predicate they actually need. TestABIVersion
locks the linked library's ABI constant, so it belongs beside
TestLibraryABIVersion in the native file rather than in the untagged
one, where it asserted 6 against the stub's documented 0 and failed
every CGO_ENABLED=0 run.

Verified: all twelve VMs build at their images.json cgo setting;
go build ./... and go test ./evm/cevm/... green at CGO=0 and CGO=1;
-tags=lux_cevm_native still selects cevm_cgo.go + cevm_secp256k1.go.

chains

Lux Chains

Independent VM plugin binaries for the Lux Network.

Each directory builds to a standalone binary that the Lux node loads as a plugin via --plugin-dir.

Build

make            # build all VMs
make evm        # build one VM
make test       # test all

Install

lpm install evm
lpm install dexvm

Or copy binaries to ~/.lux/plugins/<vmid>.

VMs

One row per directory in this repo. make derives its target list from the directory listing, so a VM that has no directory here has no binary — the table below and ls can never disagree.

Live means the VM has a chain registered on Lux mainnet 96369 (platform.getBlockchains).

VM Chain Live on 96369 Purpose
evm C-Chain ✅ EVM smart contracts
dexvm D-Chain ✅ Decentralized exchange
aivm A-Chain ✅ AI/ML inference
bridgevm B-Chain ✅ Cross-chain bridge — also owns all cross-chain messaging / relay / teleport (LP-6000); there is no separate teleportvm
graphvm G-Chain ✅ GraphQL data layer
keyvm K-Chain ✅ Key management
quantumvm Q-Chain ✅ Post-quantum consensus signing (Pulsar)
zkvm Z-Chain ✅ Groth16 over BLS12-381 (rolls N × ML-DSA-65 sigs into 192-byte proof)
identityvm I-Chain ❌ built, not deployed Decentralized identity
oraclevm O-Chain ❌ built, not deployed Oracle/off-chain data
relayvm R-Chain ❌ built, not deployed Cross-chain relay
mpcvm M-Chain ❌ built, not deployed MPC ceremonies (CGGMP21, FROST, Pulsar-general) — bridge custody for external wallets (LP-7100)
schain S-Chain ❌ built, not deployed S3-style object storage (on-chain metadata / off-chain blob). Declares its own VMID = ids.ID{'s','c','h','a','i','n'} in schain/factory.go and is not in the canonical luxfi/constants VM-ID registry

P-Chain (platformvm) and X-Chain (xvm) are in-process core VMs registered by luxfi/node, not plugins built here. Together with the eight ✅ rows above they are the ten chains live on 96369.

Not in this repo

Name Status
teleportvm / T-Chain Removed. LP-134 dissolves T-Chain with zero remainder: threshold signing → M-Chain, FHE → F-Chain, cross-chain messaging/teleport → B-Chain (bridgevm). LP-5013 and LP-7330 are deprecated by LP-134; see LP-7050 for the migration map. No teleportvm VM ID exists in luxfi/constants.
servicenodevm Never existed. The service-node registry was never built under this name; the S-Chain directory here is schain/ and is object storage, not a registry.
fhevm / F-Chain Unbuilt. luxfi/constants reserves FHEVMID = {'f','h','e','v','m'} and luxfi/node/node/vms.go lists it in OptionalVMs as a plugin named fhevm, so luxd will scan --plugin-dir for it — but there is no fhevm/ directory in this repo and no plugin binary anywhere, so that scan always comes up empty. The FHE runtime library lives at mpcvm/fhe/; it is a package inside mpcvm, not a standalone chain. F-Chain is a spec (LP-8200, LP-167) with no shipping VM.
