Major Solana upgrade comes to Eth

Neon EVM Revolutionizes Ethereum DApps on Solana Blockchain

Neon EVM, an Ethereum Virtual Machine on the Solana blockchain, offers developers the opportunity to build Ethereum decentralized applications (DApps) on Solana. By bridging the gap between Ethereum and Solana’s computing models, Neon EVM enables Ethereum DApps to leverage the efficiency and technical capabilities of the Solana blockchain for transaction settlements.

Operating on Solana, Neon EVM processes wrapped Ethereum transactions through smart contracts, combining the solidity of Ethereum’s DApp environment with the efficiency of Solana’s infrastructure. This innovative design allows developers to deploy Ethereum DApps directly on the Solana network, minimizing code reconfiguration and harnessing Solana’s native functionality, including parallel execution of transactions.

To enhance cost-effectiveness, Neon EVM provides an alternative solution to layer 2 solutions traditionally used by EVM DApps. While Ethereum’s average transaction fee is around $2 and layer 2 solutions offer savings of 4-20 times, Solana boasts an impressively low average transaction fee of just 0.00001 SOL (~$0.0002) per transaction, significantly reducing costs.

Neon EVM has undergone successful initial Devnet tests and plans to present real-world data following production tests. The establishment of the NEON Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) accompanies the launch, allowing the community to contribute to the future development of Neon EVM.

The integration of Neon EVM with Solana is a significant milestone for both Ethereum and Solana ecosystems. Ethereum developers can now harness Solana’s high-performance infrastructure without sacrificing the familiar Ethereum DApp environment. This integration opens doors to new opportunities, enabling developers to create more efficient and cost-effective DApps and expanding the capabilities of the decentralized application space.

NEON serves as the utility token for Neon EVM and will be utilized for governance. Currently, the token is trading at $0.214499, reflecting a 19.2% increase in value over the past day, according to CoinGecko data.
