#walrus $WAL Walrus chooses: 📈 Extreme scalability 📦 Efficient data encoding 🔧 Flexibility to serve many execution environments That makes it attractive infrastructure for: Rollups Appchains Gaming chains ZK systems Institutional data-heavy apps
#walrus $WAL Option B: Smart-contract support via another VM Non-EVM VM (Wasm, Move-style, custom) Still not “EVM-compatible” in the Ethereum sense As of now: 🚫 No official native EVM roadmap @Walrus 🦭/acc
#walrus $WAL Possible paths (theoretical, not guaranteed): Option A: EVM execution layer built on top A rollup or sidechain uses Walrus for DA That rollup is EVM-compatible Walrus stays execution-agnostic @Walrus 🦭/acc
EVM chains (Ethereum, DuskEVM, etc.) use Walrus for data availability 📄 Large calldata, blobs, rollup data, or app data live on Walrus 🔐 Execution & state stay on the EVM chain 📦 Walrus guarantees the data is available and verifiable Think of Walrus as: A decentralized “data backend” for EVM chains 4️⃣ Walrus + modular blockchain stack In modular architecture: Layer Example Execution Ethereum, DuskEVM Settlement Ethereum / DuskDS Data Availability Walrus
Does Walrus run Solidity or EVM bytecode? ❌ No. No native Solidity execution No EVM opcodes No direct MetaMask → deploy contract → done flow This means: You cannot directly deploy ERC-20 / ERC-721 contracts on Walrus Walrus is not competing with EVM L1s/L2s 3️⃣ How Walrus still works with EVM chains Here’s the important part 👇 Walrus is designed to be EVM-adjacent, not EVM-native. How that looks in practice:
Its core goals: 📦 Large-scale data storage ⚡ High-throughput data availability 🔗 Infrastructure support for other chains (especially modular ones) So instead of copying Ethereum’s execution model, Walrus optimizes for data, not contracts. Alright, let’s unpack Walrus EVM compatibility properly 🧠 (short answer first, then deep dive 👇) 🔑 Short answer Walrus is NOT natively EVM-compatible. It does not run the Ethereum Virtual Machine like Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, or DuskEVM. But… that’s intentional, not a weakness. 1️⃣ What Walrus is actually designed for Walrus is built primarily as a data availability (DA) + storage-focused blockchain, not a general-purpose smart-contract chain. @Walrus 🦭/acc #walrus $WAL Its core goals:
#dusk $DUSK 3️⃣ Is DuskEVM an L2? Technically yes, architecturally no. It uses OP Stack–style rollup mechanics BUT it does NOT settle to Ethereum It settles to Dusk’s own base chain (DuskDS) So it’s closer to: 🧠 An app-specific EVM rollup anchored to Dusk, not Ethereum This avoids Ethereum congestion & gas dependency. @Dusk
#dusk $DUSK Where DuskEVM sits in the Dusk stack (architecture) Dusk is modular, not monolithic. Layers: DuskDS (Base Layer) Consensus Data availability Final settlement Privacy primitives (ZK, confidential assets) @Dusk
#dusk $DUSK That’s an important distinction: ✅ Same EVM opcode behavior as Ethereum ✅ Same Solidity/Vyper bytecode ✅ Same tooling (Hardhat, Foundry, Remix, MetaMask, OpenZeppelin) ❌ Not a custom VM or translated environment 👉 If a contract works on Ethereum, it works on DuskEVM without rewriting logic. @Dusk
#dusk $DUSK Alright, let’s go deeper 🔍 — beyond “yes, it’s EVM-compatible” and into how Dusk does it, what you can/can’t do, and why it matters long-term. 1️⃣ What “EVM-compatible” really means on Dusk Dusk runs DuskEVM, which is EVM-equivalent, not just “compatible”. @Dusk
Current status and finality A public testnet for DuskEVM has been launched, enabling developers to bridge DUSK between DuskDS and DuskEVM and to test smart contracts in an EVM-compatible environment. A temporary finalization delay (≈7-day challenge period inherited from the OP Stack) exists currently, with future upgrades planned for faster (one-block) finality. � Dusk Forum +1 6. Why this matters EVM compatibility significantly lowers the barrier to entry for developers and ecosystem projects because it allows: Use of existing EVM dApps and tooling with minimal changes. � DOCUMENTATION Easier integration with exchanges, wallets, bridges, and institutional infrastructure. � Dusk Forum Standard contract deployment while still benefitting from Dusk’s privacy and regulated finance features. � Dusk Network In summary, DuskEVM is designed to be fully compatible with Ethereum’s VM and ecosystem, letting developers build standard EVM dApps on a chain that settles on Dusk’s privacy and compliance-focused base layer. � DOCUMENTATION
DuskEVM uses the OP Stack architecture and supports EIP-4844 (proto-Danksharding), but it settles transactions on DuskDS instead of the Ethereum chain. That gives it the familiar EVM environment for execution while inheriting Dusk’s settlement and privacy guarantees. � DOCUMENTATION 3. Compatible tooling and deployment Because of this compatibility: Developers can use familiar EVM tools and languages (Solidity, Vyper, Hardhat, Foundry, OpenZeppelin, etc.) to build and deploy contracts. � DOCUMENTATION Wallets that support EVM (e.g., MetaMask, hardware wallets) work with DuskEVM contracts and assets. � Dusk Forum Standard RPC endpoints and explorers (Blockscout style) are provided for interacting with the chain. � DOCUMENTATION 4. DUSK token as gas and network specifics On DuskEVM, DUSK is the native gas token (similar to ETH on Ethereum) and is used to pay transaction fees. The chain has specific chain IDs for mainnet/testnet/devnet and EVM RPC endpoints. �
Dusk EVM compatibility — what it is and how it works 1. EVM-equivalent execution environment DuskEVM is a fully EVM-equivalent execution layer within the modular Dusk stack. That means it runs the same virtual machine rules as the Ethereum Virtual Machine, so developers can deploy Solidity smart contracts and use the same tools (like Hardhat, Foundry, MetaMask, and standard EVM RPCs) without any modifications. This “EVM equivalence” makes DuskEVM compatible with the broader Ethereum ecosystem’s tooling, wallets, and infrastructure. � DOCUMENTATION +1 2. Modular architecture – how it’s integrated Dusk’s blockchain architecture is modular: DuskDS — the settlement and data availability layer (consensus, privacy, finality). DuskEVM — the EVM execution layer where most smart contracts and dApps run. �
#plasma $XPL Alright, let’s break XPL nodes down in a clean, no-fluff way 👇 What are XPL Nodes? XPL nodes are the backbone of the XPL network. They keep the blockchain running by: Validating transactions Producing and confirming blocks Maintaining network security and decentralization Without nodes, XPL wouldn’t function as a trustless system. @Plasma
#vanar $VANRY Here’s a clear overview of Vanar Chain nodes — what they are, why they matter, and how they work in the Vanar Chain ecosystem (an AI-native, EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain): � docs.vanarchain.com +1 🔹 What Are Vanar Chain Nodes? In the Vanar blockchain, nodes are individual servers that participate in the network by hosting the blockchain data and helping process and validate transactions. Nodes are essential for maintaining Vanar’s decentralized ledger and supporting applications built on the network. � docs.vanarchain.com
