Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 12:00 AM

Currently, EVM bytecode, while being powerful and simple, is lacking structure. This leads to many complexities when introducing new EIPs and maintaining backwards compatibility. In this talk, we illustrate some use cases of the EVM Object Format (EOF). Next, we provide a quick overview of the main changes introduced by the EOF and related EIPs, along with code examples. Finally, we discuss potential benefits and drawbacks that could arise with the introduction of EOF Speaker(s): Alex Murashkin Skill level: Intermediate Track: Core Protocol Keywords: Ethereum Roadmap, Protocol Design, Security, upgrade Follow us: https://twitter.com/efdevcon, https://twitter.com/ethereum, https://warpcast.com/devcon Learn more about devcon: https://www.devcon.org/ Learn more about ethereum: https://ethereum.org/ Visit the https://archive.devcon.org/ to gain access to the entire library of Devcon talks with the ease of filtering, playlists, personalized suggestions, decentralized access on Swarm, IPFS and more.
