Bend-PVM

A revolutionary smart contract language for PolkaVM

Get Started
transfer.bend
fn transfer(to: address, amount: u128) -> Result(bool, String) {
    with Result {
        if balances[msg.sender] < amount {
            return Err("Insufficient balance");
        }
        balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
        balances[to] += amount;
        return Ok(true);
    }
}

Powerful Features

High Performance

Write contracts that consume 3X fewer resources than traditional languages for exceptional efficiency.

Multi-Dimensional Resources

Advanced resource management with separate metrics for computation, proof size, and storage.

Functional Paradigm

Leverage pattern matching, monads, and algebraic data types for safer, more expressive code.

Developer Friendly

Familiar syntax for Solidity developers with zero learning curve and immediate productivity.

RISC-V Optimization

Compiled directly to efficient RISC-V code for optimal performance on specialized hardware.

Built-in Security

Type safety, explicit error handling, and formal verification capabilities built into the language.

Elegant, Safe, Familiar

Solidity
function transfer(address to, uint amount) public returns (bool) {
    if (balances[msg.sender] < amount) return false;
    balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
    balances[to] += amount;
    return true;
}
Bend-PVM
fn transfer(to: address, amount: u128) -> Result(bool, String) {
    with Result {
        if balances[msg.sender] < amount {
            return Err("Insufficient balance");
        }
        balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
        balances[to] += amount;
        return Ok(true);
    }
}
ERC-20 in Solidity
contract SimpleToken {
    mapping(address => uint256) private balances;
    
    function transfer(address to, uint256 amount) 
        public returns (bool) 
    {
        require(balances[msg.sender] >= amount, 
                "Insufficient balance");
        
        balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
        balances[to] += amount;
        
        emit Transfer(msg.sender, to, amount);
        return true;
    }
}
Bend-PVM Token
type Result:
  Ok { value: u24 }
  Err { reason: String }

def transfer(to: String, amount: u24) -> Result:
  with IO:
    from = caller()
    from_balance = get_balance(from)
    
    if from_balance < amount:
      return Result/Err { reason: "Insufficient balance" }
    
    set_balance(from, from_balance - amount)
    set_balance(to, get_balance(to) + amount)
    
    emit_event("Transfer", [from, to, amount])
    return Result/Ok { value: 1 }
