🔉 The Solana-Native Neon EVM Whitepaper is Here!

This shares our path for bringing Solana-native capabilities to EVM dApps, paving the way for a unified and composable blockchain ecosystem. The whitepaper is packed with innovations aimed at enhancing user experience and empowering developers to build seamlessly on the Solana ecosystem.

📖 What’s Inside?

While it's loaded with builder alpha, here are five key features to watch out for:

- Solana Signature Support: Users get to use their favorite Solana wallets, such as Phantom, Backpack, or Solflare, to interact with Neon EVM.
- On-Chain Mempool: Schedule and execute transactions seamlessly without relying on external tools.
- Associated Neon Accounts: Manage assets without juggling wallets or intermediaries like NeonPass.
- Controlled Transaction Trees: Execute complex interactions with atomic and parallel processes.
- Intent-Based Execution: Define conditions for transactions and save on costs.

What does this mean for your EVM dApps?

With these new capabilities, your EVM dApps can leverage Solana’s blazing speed, cost-efficiency, and ecosystem benefits—all without compromising on accessibility or functionality. This means:

- Seamless access: Use Solana wallets like Phantom to interact with EVM dApps—no extra wallets needed!
- Efficient transactions: With an on-chain mempool and atomic state management, execute smarter and faster.
- Scalable potential: Handle larger transactions, call Solana programs directly, and deliver powerful experiences with Solana L1’s throughput and speed.
