G-Chain declines every BuildBlock, and then ParseBlock accepted 56 bytes
of well-formed ZAP naming any height and any parent, Verify passed it,
and Accept moved lastAccepted to it — after which GetBlock(LastAccepted())
answered not-found and the node could not boot. One block off the wire,
one permanently unstartable node. The refusal is now one predicate that
admission, assembly, preference and consensus all answer with.
The block carried four payload slices no code ever wrote, so Accept's and
Verify's loops over them were vacuous, including the unlocked read of
vm.queries. Deleted, with the four types. The VM also held a second
GraphQL parser and resolver table with no callers, behind two endpoints
that answered "GraphQL endpoint ready" to every query; the real executor
is now what /graphql serves, and the placeholders are gone.
In that executor:
first: "-1" reached make([]*T, 0, -1) and panicked the process, and
mints and burns had no upper bound at all. Forty near-identical
resolvers are now two shapes, so the bound is a property of the shape.
where: {token0: "0x1"} arrived as the string "{token0" — the argument
list was split on commas — so every filtered query answered with the
whole table and reported no error.
{ a b } was one field named "a b": the selection set was split on
commas and newlines only.
MaxResultSize was stored and never read, and QueryTimeoutMs bounded
nothing because no resolver watched the deadline.
sortTokens returned !cmp to reverse, reporting i<j and j<i for every
tie, which left sort.Slice free to permute equal rows differently on
identical data.
RequireAuth with a configured "" admitted `Authorization: Bearer `,
because ConstantTimeCompare reports equal for two empty slices. The
chain refuses to boot on that config instead.
Coverage 31.8% -> 99.8%.
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
make's target list is named in the Makefile, and every name in it is a
directory here that ships a plugin entrypoint (<vm>/cmd/plugin, or evm/main.go).
dexvm/ is the exception in the table below: it is a library the EVM plugin
embeds — it has no entrypoint of its own, so make builds no dexvm binary.
The other directories here (fee/, ownership/, internal/, cmd/) are
libraries and a tool, and are not VMs.
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) |
| fhevm | F-Chain | ❌ built, not deployed | Confidential compute (LP-8200): ciphertext handles, access permits, threshold decryption. Records the public coordinates of encrypted values and holds none of the encrypted part — no ciphertext body, no FHE key, no share. Wraps the FHE runtime at mpcvm/fhe/ |
| 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. |
Plugin filenames
luxd resolves a CreateChainTx's vmID to an implementation by looking for a file
of that name in --plugin-dir, so a plugin installed under any other name is
invisible and its chain silently never starts. The filename is the CB58 of the
vmID — n6sSsSfbpQBrU9sY4R29U6z8VrmnTo2CntW6da4rRS7qmnGdv for fhevm,
qCURact1n41FcoNBch8iMVBwc9AWie48D118ZNJ5tBdWrvryS for mpcvm. Each VM pins its
own in a test, because a vmID cannot change once a chain has been created with it.
