Summary

Documents Trails' edge-rail support for non-EVM / alternative VM chains (Solana supported today, Tron TBA). Written chain-agnostically so the SDK/architecture pages don't need updating as new edge chains land — chain specifics live only on the Supported Chains reference page.

Changes

  • architecture/edge-alt-vms.mdx (new) — "Edge & Alternative VMs" page covering the edge-rail model, the origin-vs-destination asymmetry (and why edge-origin needs a wallet adapter while destination doesn't), the execution flow, address/token conventions, and how new alternative VMs are added.
  • sdk/hooks.mdx — new Edge chains section with a per-hook capability matrix (edge-aware vs EVM-only, verified against the 0xtrails source) plus the edge execution-model note.
  • sdk/tokens-and-chains.mdx — new Edge chains section deferring to the chains list and the hooks matrix.
  • resources/supported-chains.mdxEdge Chains table (Solana ✅, Tron 🚧 TBA) and the Solana USDC/USDT SPL mints folded into Stablecoin Details.
  • docs.json — new architecture page added to nav.

Notes

  • The hooks matrix reflects that edge support is a quote/execution-layer capability, not uniform across every hook — list/balance/public-client/earn/recovery hooks remain EVM-only.
  • Not addressed here: architecture/how-it-works.mdx still says non-EVM support is a future plan, which is now stale. Can fix in a follow-up if wanted.

Add documentation for Trails' edge-rail support of non-EVM /
alternative VM chains (Solana today, Tron TBA).

- New architecture/edge-alt-vms.mdx explaining the edge-rail model,
  origin-vs-destination asymmetry, execution flow, and how new
  alternative VMs are added (chain-agnostic; specifics deferred to
  the chains page).
- sdk/hooks.mdx: add an Edge chains capability matrix (which hooks
  are edge-aware vs EVM-only) plus the edge execution model note.
- sdk/tokens-and-chains.mdx: add an Edge chains section referencing
  the chains and hooks pages.
- resources/supported-chains.mdx: add Edge Chains table (Solana
  supported, Tron TBA) and fold the Solana USDC/USDT SPL mints into
  Stablecoin Details.
- docs.json: add the new architecture page to the nav.

Reference the concrete Solana adapter page alongside the generic
Adapters overview in the edge-origin execution notes on the
architecture and hooks pages, so readers reach runnable adapter
setup in one hop.
