Introduction

What is EVVM?​

EVVM (Ethereum Virtual Virtual Machine) is a virtual blockchain system that runs on existing blockchains, giving you your own blockchain without managing infrastructure.

Key Features​

Virtual Blockchain​

  • No Infrastructure: Deploy your blockchain without validators or nodes
  • Host Security: Inherits security from the underlying blockchain
  • Instant Deployment: Launch in minutes, not months
  • Vertical Scalability: Run multiple EVVMs on one host blockchain

Gasless Communication​

  • Fishing Spots: Use any data channel (APIs, messaging, etc.) to transmit transactions
  • Zero Gas Fees: Transactions through alternative channels cost nothing

Who Should Use EVVM?​

Organizations & Protocols​

Deploy custom blockchain solutions without infrastructure:

  • Protocols, enterprises, banks, public sector
  • Custom on-chain rules and optimizations
  • Blockchain-as-a-Service approach

Developers​

Three ways to build:

  1. Deploy Your Own: Create isolated, custom blockchain environments
  2. Build Within: Collaborate in existing EVVM ecosystems
  3. Experiment: Test future Web3 technologies and EIPs

Core Components​

EVVM Core Contract​

Payment processing and token management:

  • Dual-track system for stakers and non-stakers
  • Token abstractions using EIP-191 signatures
  • Cross-chain transfers via Fisher Bridge

Name Service​

Human-readable identities:

  • Username registration and metadata
  • Username-based payments

Staking System​

Token staking with rewards:

  • Era-based deflationary rewards
  • Enhanced access for stakers
  • Fisher and service (smart contract) staking support

Fisher Bridge​

Cross-chain asset transfers:

  • Secure multi-chain withdrawals
  • Decentralized operator network
