SVOM's Visible Telescope has detected optical afterglows for about 75% of 111 gamma-ray bursts observed, with rates of 77% for its own triggers within 30 minutes and 81% for external triggers observed within 3 hours.

First blind optical identification of a z=0.153 sub-luminous GRB afterglow with Ic-BL SN, yielding a volumetric rate consistent with on-axis high-luminosity long GRBs.
The ECLAIRs trigger on SVOM uses simultaneous count-rate and image algorithms to detect and localize gamma-ray bursts, already supporting multiple high-redshift measurements.
