Ethereum Compatible WebAssembly Runtime Pallet for All Substrate Blockchains

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

An Ewasm VM implementation for Substrate called SSVM pallet runs Solidity and Fe bytecode but executes WebAssembly produced by LLVM so C/C++, Rust and JS contracts also work; developers compile with LLVM/solc, deploy via a Web3 gateway and MetaMask/Polkadot.js, and a Parastate testnet demonstrates coexistence with the EVM. Claim: AOT/JIT WebAssembly paths yield up to 100x faster execution versus interpreted EVM in benchmarks; the pallet installs into a Substrate chain and Parastate testnet shows it handling real ERC20-style flows.
