Computation Layer: The Tricky Question of EVM Compatibility
summary
NEON builds NEON EVM as a Rust smart contract plus a proxy translating Ethereum txns into Solana txns so existing Solidity dapps deploy unchanged; Uniswap v2 runs on devnet. Early benchmarks show about 4.5k ERC‑20 transfers/sec and 7.5k token TPS. Iterative Ethereum transactions are split across multiple Solana transactions due to instruction limits, prompting an optimistic parallel execution strategy. Roadmap notes a delayed mainnet, $40M raise, and work on indexers and oracle adapters so EVM and Solana native contracts can interoperate.
