REVM Gateway

Rust Ethereum Virtual Machine

Revm is an EVM written in Rust that is focused on speed and simplicity. It has a fast and flexible implementation with a simple interface and embedded Host.

Here is a list of guiding principles that Revm follows.

• EVM compatibility and stability - this goes without saying but it is nice to put it here. In the blockchain industry, stability is the most desired attribute of any system.
• Speed - is one of the most important things and most decisions are made to complement this.
• Simplicity - simplification of internals so that it can be easily understood and extended, and interface that can be easily used or integrated into other projects.
• interfacing - [no_std] so that it can be used as wasm lib and integrate with JavaScript and cpp binding if needed.

Project

Structure:

• crates
  • revm -> main EVM library.
  • revm-primitives -> Primitive data types.
  • revm-interpreter -> Execution loop with instructions
  • revm-precompile -> EVM precompiles
• bins:
  • revme: cli binary, used for running state test jsons

This project tends to use the newest rust version, so if you're encountering a build error try running rustup update first.

Running the project

Dependencies

• Gateway Circuit SDK
  In in the same work directory as you cloned this repository, you have to clone the Gateway Circuit SDK.

git clone [email protected]:GatewayLabs/circuit-sdk.git

Building the project

cargo build --release

Running an example

cargo run -p add-example (for instance)

cargo run

Important considerations

This is a very volatile project, and it is under heavy development. Expect constant changes in the code and the documentation.
