The challenges of enabling EVM-functionality on Solana blockchain by Marina Guryeva

Blockchain systems Ethereum and Solana are radically different. They differ in terms of architecture and technical implementation. On Solana, for example, parallel execution of transactions is available, but there are restrictions on the number of instructions within a single transaction — which is not the case on Ethereum. The team of Neon Labs overcame a lot of technical hurdles and found a lot of technical tricks to unite Ethereum world with Solana’s. The results of the work done and some of the technical solutions being implemeted will be presented by Marina Guryeva, co-founder and director of Neon Labs.
