# Dusk VM

The Dusk VM is a virtual machine designed for **Dusk**, enabling secure and efficient execution of smart contracts, state transitions, and cryptographic operations tailored for zero-knowledge-based applications.

It serves as the execution engine of the Dusk Blockchain, leveraging advanced cryptographic primitives and frameworks to support privacy-preserving, compliant and scalable decentralized applications.

## Features

- **State Management**: Manage blockchain state using sessions for isolated transaction execution and finalization.
- **Cryptographic Support**: Offers built-in support for hashing (Poseidon), signature verification (BLS, Schnorr), and proof validation (PLONK, Groth16).
- **Virtual Machine for zk-SNARK Applications**: Optimized for privacy-preserving computations.

## Installation

Add `dusk-vm` to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
dusk-vm = "0.x"  # Replace with the latest version
```

## Documentation

For detailed usage and API examples, refer to the [crate documentation on docs.rs](https://docs.rs/dusk-vm/).
