Neon EVM

About

Neon EVM is an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) built on the Solana blockchain that lets developers run Ethereum dApps on Solana without changing their smart contracts. Instead of requiring developers to rewrite applications for Solana's native programming environment, Neon EVM lets teams continue using familiar Ethereum development tools, Solidity, and EVM-compatible workflows. Neon EVM uses the Neon EVM program, Neon Proxy, and Neon DAO as core components of its architecture. For developers, Neon EVM supports tools such as Hardhat, Foundry, and Remix, while integrations with services such as Chainlink, Pyth, and WalletConnect expand its Web3 development stack.
