The ICP EVM Proxy - What is it about?

Hi all! We’re happy to share ICP EVM Proxy by Zondax. So, Imagine this: You’ve built a killer dApp on ICP, but you want to leverage the awesome tooling in the Ethereum ecosystem. Normally, that’d be a huge headache. But with the ICP-EVM Proxy, you can translate your ICP data into a format Ethereum understands. You can use Dexscreener to analyze your ICP dApp’s data – no code rewrites, no new languages to learn.

Under the hood, we’ve got a few key pieces: a Counter Canister (simple, but shows the core ICP stuff), a DEX Canister (a mini DEX built on ICP – a great example of DeFi on ICP), a Logger Canister (where all the event logs hang out), and the EVM Adapter Proxy (it’s written in Go and does the actual translation). We’re also using a SubQuery Indexer to make querying data a breeze.

It’s a PoC. That means it’s not production-ready yet. We’ve got basic logging, throughput isn’t blazing fast, and the DEX is pretty basic (no order book magic yet). But this is where you come in! This is a foundation we can build on together. We’re talking about a future where ICP dApps seamlessly integrate with Ethereum tools, where cross-chain apps are the norm, and where tracking on-chain events is actually easy.
