Lunar Digital Assets, the leading full-stack blockchain venture studio behind Litecoin’s first EVM-compatible Layer-2 virtual machine and the first smart contract platform built for the Litecoin ecosystem, today announced major growth milestones for its LitVM testnet only two months after it was launched.
Since its testnet launch in April 2026, LitVM has recorded over 63 million transactions and seen more than 1.5 million new wallets created in the past two weeks alone, bringing total wallets to over 4.4 million. In this time period, LitVM has also seen the launch of more than 50 new applications spanning decentralized finance, real-world assets (RWA), and an emerging wave of AI-powered on-chain experiences. The notable apps now live or in active development on LitVM include:
-
WheelX: An AI-powered bridge and cross-chain swap aggregator.
-
MidasPredict: Permissionless prediction market platform featuring a novel AI market assistant.
-
AI Deathmatch: A live, on-chain arena where autonomous AI agents battle on prediction markets while users bet on the winners.
-
Falken: An AI vs. AI gaming platform allowing intelligent agents to play games with USDC stakes, while humans wager on the competitive outcomes.
-
AutoIncentive: A framework enabling AI agents to execute completely autonomous payments.
-
LendVault: A pioneering financial platform facilitating RWA lending secured against collectibles.
-
Dappit: An innovative utility for AI-generated smart contracts.
-
Lester Labs: LitVM’s comprehensive DeFi suite.
These applications in total represent a new generation of blockchain services where AI agents can transact, compete, coordinate, and create economic value directly on-chain.
“Litecoin has always excelled as a secure and efficient medium of exchange,” said Roc Zacharias, CEO of Lunar Digital Assets and Co-founder of LitVM. “What these metrics demonstrate is that developers and users want to do even more with their Litecoin. The growth we’re seeing validates our belief that Litecoin can become a leading platform for the next generation of AI-enabled financial applications.”
These benchmarks continue to affirm the industry’s appetite for programmable smart contract infrastructure built on one of crypto’s most secure and rigorously tested networks. The rapid pace of adoption in just a short amount of time also demonstrates growing interest in bringing smart contracts, decentralized finance, artificial intelligence, and real-world asset applications to Litecoin while preserving the network’s core principles of reliability and security.
“What we’re witnessing is validation that the Litecoin community has been ready for programmability,” said Aztec Amaya, Co-founder of LitVM and Chief Strategy Officer of Lunar Digital Assets. “Millions of wallets, tens of millions of transactions, and dozens of live applications have emerged during the testnet phase alone.”
As the first EVM-compatible Layer-2 network built on Litecoin, LitVM has experienced a massive wave of developer and user adoption, cementing its position as the premier environment for smart contracts and advanced Web3 applications on the network. Supported by the Litecoin Foundation, LitVM bridges native Litecoin assets to EVM capabilities. The testnet success validates the project’s core thesis: transforming Litecoin into a highly scalable, utility-driven “hard money Web3” ecosystem that includes Litecoin yield opportunities, real-world assets, AI and more
