Evmos

Evmos is a Layer 1 blockchain that combines the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility with the Cosmos ecosystem's interoperability and scalability features. It is built using the Cosmos SDK and runs on the CometBFT consensus engine, enabling high throughput and Proof-of-Stake security. Evmos aims to bridge Ethereum-based applications and assets with the Cosmos network, allowing developers to deploy smart contracts using familiar Ethereum tools while benefiting from Cosmos's modular architecture and cross-chain capabilities.

The platform is designed for developers and enterprises seeking to build scalable decentralized applications (dapps) that require Ethereum compatibility alongside Cosmos interoperability. Evmos supports standard Ethereum tooling such as Solidity smart contracts and Web3 libraries, making it accessible for Ethereum developers. It also offers a full node implementation and CLI tools to run and interact with the network, with comprehensive documentation and active community support.

What sets Evmos apart is its role as the canonical EVM chain on Cosmos, providing forward-compatible EVM implementations through the evmOS stack. This enables seamless integration with Ethereum assets and protocols while leveraging Cosmos's Tendermint-based consensus for faster finality and lower fees. Evmos also maintains an open-source codebase with a clear licensing model and encourages community contributions. Developers can get started by running an Evmos node, exploring the protocol overview, and accessing detailed installation guides and SDKs available on their documentation site.
