OpenVM is an open-source, modular zkVM framework designed for customizable and extensible zero-knowledge applications. OpenVM's Twitter Score is 17 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranking #57,962 among 483,944 tracked accounts.
OpenVM was announced in December 2024 with its first release at v0.1. The framework is affiliated with Axiom, Scroll, and Privacy & Scaling Explorations, and operates on a modular no-CPU architecture that allows custom instruction-set extensions without requiring modifications to or forks of its core libraries. It supports Rust programs via a RISC-V toolchain, GPU-accelerated proving, unbounded execution through continuations and proof aggregation, and Ethereum on-chain verification through a Solidity SDK.
OpenVM has undergone external manual security reviews through Cantina, an internal Axiom audit, and formal verification of its RV32IM extension in Lean by Nethermind Research. As of February 2026, the project recommended v1.5.0 or later for production use. A vulnerability tracked as CVE-2026-46669 affected versions before 1.6.0, where improper validation in the openvm-pairing guest library could allow incorrect pairing-check results; the issue was patched in version 1.6.0. The v1.2.0 release also addressed advisory GHSA-4w7p-8f9q-f4g2 and a related Plonky3 security advisory.
