ICP & Ethereum: How ICP's EVM RPC container connects to the network
We, the DFINITY R&D team, are excited to announce that the EVM RPC container is now live and available to the ICP developer community. EVM RPC is an Internet Computer container smart contract designed to communicate with Ethereum and other EVM blockchains using an on-chain API. Why this matters The goal for developers is to write ICP smart contracts that communicate with the Ethereum network and other EVM chains. ICP has achieved this through HTTPS calls. The Ethereum protocol defines the specifications for software applications to interact with any Ethereum node through an HTTP-based RPC (remote procedure call) interface.
