EVMC

Ethereum Client-VM Connector API

The EVMC is the low-level ABI between Ethereum Virtual Machines (EVMs) and Ethereum Clients. On the EVM side it supports classic EVM1 and ewasm. On the Client-side it defines the interface for EVM implementations to access Ethereum environment and state.

Usage

Please visit the documentation.

Languages support

1. ^↑ Rust support is limited and not complete yet, but it is mostly functional already. Breaking changes are possible at this stage.
2. ^↑ Java support is in progress and the interface remains in flux. Breaking changes are possible at this stage.

Testing tools

• evmc run (tools/evmc) — executes bytecode in any EVMC-compatible VM implementation.
• evmc-vmtester (tools/vmtester) — can test any EVM implementation for compatibility with EVMC.
• evm-test (evmone → test/unittests) — allows running the collection of evmone's unit tests on any EVMC-compatible EVM implementation.
• evmone-fuzzer (evmone → test/fuzzer) — differential fuzzer for EVMC-compatible EVM implementations.
