EOS EVM: A Bridge Between EOS and Ethereum Ecosystems

In the world of blockchain technology, interoperability is an essential aspect that enables seamless communication between different blockchains. The ability to transfer value and data across multiple blockchain networks is crucial for the use and growth of decentralized applications (dApps). In this regard, EOS EVM is a progressive project that seeks to connect the EOS and Ethereum ecosystems by building a fully compatible Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) on EOS.

EOS is a highly performant Layer-1 blockchain that was designed for high throughput and low latency. It boasts of a practical transaction processing speed of up to 4,000 transactions per second, which is significantly higher than Ethereum's current transaction throughput of 15 transactions per second. EOS also boasts feeless transaction fees and an efficient resource allocation model, which makes it an attractive platform for developing decentralized applications (dApps).

However, despite its impressive performance, EOS has been largely isolated from the broader Ethereum ecosystem due to the lack of EVM compatibility. This isolation has limited the scope of EOS-based dApps and hindered its potential to attract developers from other blockchain ecosystems.

The importance of EOS EVM for both ecosystems

The addition of EOS EVM to the EOS ecosystem allows developers to build and deploy smart contracts written in Solidity, the programming language used by Ethereum and other EVMs. EOS EVM stems from the initial goal to connect EOS to the Ethereum ecosystem using Metamask, a popular Ethereum wallet that enables users to interact with dApps and networks in the Ethereum ecosystem.

By building a fully compatible RPC (Remote Procedure Call) with Metamask, developers hoped to then seamlessly interact with EOS-based dApps using their existing Ethereum wallets. This was a crucial influence towards building the EOS EVM, which has many more benefits to Ethereum and EOS developers than just building a Metamask compatible RPC.

One of the main advantages of using EOS EVM is the highly performant EOS Layer-1 blockchain. This means that developers can write and deploy smart contracts that run at a faster speed and with lower fees compared to Ethereum. This performance advantage has been made possible by the unique architecture of EOS, which is also designed to be highly scalable and efficient.

The familiarity of the Solidity programming language will allow for the EOS EVM ecosystem to develop much quicker as the scale at which applications can be built is maximized by the Ethereum Virtual Machine’s seamless integration. Capable of achieving over 800 swaps per second, EOS EVM will be by far the fastest, most performant EVM in the industry.

Benefits of EOS EVM for both ecosystems

Another benefit of EOS EVM is its compatibility with other blockchain ecosystems. This means that developers can write their applications code once and deploy it on multiple chains, making it easier to reach a wider audience and tap into new markets. This cross-chain compatibility also allows developers to leverage the strengths of different chains and create new applications that take advantage of their unique features.

By offering compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem, EOS EVM opens up a larger developer pool and access to an array of applications. Developers who are already familiar with Solidity can now easily transition to building on EOS, while also leveraging the benefits of EOS’ interoperability with other blockchains. This means that EOS EVM is likely to attract more developers to the EOS ecosystem, which will in turn drive innovation and growth.

Furthermore, there is a vast array of EVM tools that are already available and nothing more needs to be created in order for developers to join the EOS (EVM) ecosystem. This means that developers can easily start building on EOS without having to learn new tools or languages, which has proven to be a significant barrier to entry for many developers. This ease of adoption alone should encourage more developers to start building on EOS.

EOS EVM also offers better business opportunities for onboarding Web2 applications to build on Web3 using Solidity, a language that may already be familiar with a lot of them. This means that businesses can leverage the power of blockchain and create new decentralized applications without having to invest heavily in learning new programming languages or tools. This is likely to lead to the creation of new and innovative applications that take advantage of the benefits of both the EOS and the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem.

Developers and businesses that choose to build and deploy on EOS EVM are provided with several funding options to give them every opportunity to succeed. From Pomelo to Eden on EOS (DAO), to the Direct Grant Framework and even the latest announced EOS Network Ventures, everyone, including individuals, developers, and organizations, will have access to funding on EOS EVM. The EOS Network Foundation (ENF) has already committed $20 million in funding towards GameFi projects that build on EOS EVM.

To conclude,

The addition of EOS EVM to the EOS ecosystem is a significant development that is likely to have a profound impact on the entire blockchain industry. By offering EOS compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem, EOS EVM opens up new opportunities for developers and businesses, while also leveraging the unique strengths of both EOS and Ethereum ecosystems.

With its highly performant Layer-1 blockchain and cross-chain compatibility, EOS EVM is well positioned to drive growth and innovation in the blockchain industry. As more developers and businesses start building on EOS EVM, we can expect to see a new wave of decentralized applications that take advantage of the benefits of both EOS and Ethereum.

For EOS stakeholders, this is most exciting because of the possibilities it presents. With EOS being used as the native token its utility will be increased a couple fold, raising its value in the crypto market. Then there’s the possibility that a fee burning mechanism could be implemented on EOS EVM to help offset some of the inflation from the EOS network.

Either way, EOS EVM will bridge the gaps between EOS and Ethereum, creating an ecosystem that’s capable of supporting mass adoption of blockchain technology and a vast assortment of decentralized applications.
