Flow blockchain, under the aegis of Dieter Shirley, co-creator of CryptoKitties and Chief Architect of Flow, has floated a proposal to integrate Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) on its platform, aiming for full EVM equivalence. This move is designed to bridge the existing Ethereum dApp ecosystem with Flow’s unique capabilities, offering a seamless transition for developers and users alike.
Flow has been engineered for large-scale decentralized applications, introducing a novel multirole architecture and its own smart contract language, Cadence. Despite the advantages Cadence offers, developers have faced hurdles leveraging existing Ethereum-based applications and tools. The proposal aims to mitigate these challenges by enabling EVM equivalence on Flow, allowing Ethereum dApps to operate on Flow without any code modifications. Notable Ethereum protocols like Uniswap, Opensea, Metamask, Chainlink Oracle, and others, are expected to function on Flow without hitches while maintaining…
