2024-11-11 –, Ground Floor. Main Stage
The Polkadot community voted AYE nearly unanimously on the signaling referenda #885 titled “Should we allow EVM compatible contracts on Asset Hub?”. Since then, the contracts team at Parity has been hard at work to make this a reality, and contracts on Polkadot are now just around the corner!
Under the umbrella of Project Revive, we are developing a set of groundbreaking technologies to put contracts on Polkadot into the best position we possibly can. Main ingredients are our novel PolkaVM, the “revive” pallet, a new execution environment built on top of PolkaVM and our new LLVM based Solidity compiler named “revive”. Together, this tech stack achieves a very high degree of compatibility with the Solidity language, extremely fast contract execution performance as well as first class support and seamless interoperability for contracts written in other programming languages. Consequentially we not only expect smooth integrations for existing Solidity dApps on Polkadot but also to unlock so far infeasible on-chain contract workloads.
Don’t miss out on this talk to learn all about it, get insights into some of our hardest challenges and see a live demo of what’s to come soon!
