Motoko EVM Fundraising through Gitcoin Grants 23 – Pioneering the Next Generation of Blockchain Execution
Donate Here starting April 2nd, 2025
Today, we are excited to announce the continuation of our Motoko EVM project – a revolutionary leap in how Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) functionalities integrate with the Internet Computer.
Why Motoko EVM?
The blockchain space is ever-evolving. While previous campaigns on platforms like Gitcoin Grants have had their hurdles, our approach with Motoko EVM is built on fresh insights and an innovative design inspired what we’ve learned building out all the opcodes for an EVM in motoko. With the upcoming Gitcoin Grants 23 round starting April 2, every donation powers the vision to redefine how smart contracts are executed with efficiency and scale on the Internet Computer.
What Sets Us Apart?
-
Next-Gen Execution Pipeline: Our Motoko EVM isn’t just a replica of traditional EVM implementations. It’s a reimagined execution engine that will be shaped like the internet computer. This allows support for gasless and/or gas specific execution modes, and round based execution that increase throughput for L2 and L3 appchains that inherit the Internet Computer’s security from deployment.
-
Innovative Opcode Extensions: Beyond simply implementing the 141 EVM opcodes, we’re crafting new, extended opcodes that take full advantage of the Internet Computer’s architecture. This means functionalities unique to our platform – from enhanced interoperability to new paradigms in decentralized applications. Standard EVM code still runs as expected, but you’ll see new and exciting interop with existing Internet Computer applications.
-
Robust Memory & Storage: Say goodbye to the limitations of standard execution environments. Our work is focused on integrating memory solutions capable of managing hundreds of gigabytes, ensuring that the system is future-proof and scalable with instant-upgrade orthogonal persistence.
The Road Ahead
Our objectives for the Motoko EVM project are clear:
-
Memory & Trie Enhancements: Integrate a stable, efficient memory system that uses optimized trie structures to manage large-scale data.
-
Execution Loop Development: Streamline the execution loop to ensure seamless transaction processing and precise state persistence.
-
Opcode Innovation: Develop and deploy extended opcodes that unlock capabilities exclusive to the Internet Computer.
This is an open invitation to the community: support our mission through Gitcoin Grants and help us accelerate this groundbreaking journey. Your donation does more than fund a project – it ignites a movement towards a truly decentralized, integrated future for EVMs. You’ll be able to donate Arbitrum eth at Gitcoin | Explorer. Donations will be matched through the Gitcoin Grants matching pool. You can bridge eth to Arbitrum at https://bridge.arbitrum.io/. With success, we’ll be able to run future rounds on the allo stack from an EVM on the Internet Computer
