WTF Is the SVM?
summary
States that the SVM is an interpreter for eBPF bytecode and that a separate execution environment enforces the Solana programming model (accounts declared up front, no reentrancy, ownership checks). Emphasizes a single true spec: the on-chain byte-layout of program inputs, plus an optional but important JSON‑RPC schema for clients. Announces Atlas, a Solana‑compatible chain aimed at finance with 50 millisecond slot times, low jitter and wire format compatibility so existing tooling works.
