EVMC

Ethereum Client-VM Connector API

The EVMC is the low-level ABI between Ethereum Virtual Machines (EVMs) and Ethereum Clients. On the EVM side it supports classic EVM1 and ewasm. On the Client-side it defines the interface for EVM implementations to access Ethereum environment and state.

Languages support

Language	Supported Versions	Supported Compilers	Feature Support
C	C99, C11	GCC 8+, clang 9+, MSVC 2017+	Host- and VM-side
C++	C++17	GCC 8+, clang 9+, MSVC 2017+	Host- and VM-side
Go (bindings)	1.11+ (with modules)		Host-side only
Rust (bindings)¹	2018 edition	1.47.0 and newer	VM-side only
Java (bindings)²	11		Host-side only

1. ^↑ Rust support is limited and not complete yet, but it is mostly functional already. Breaking changes are possible at this stage.
2. ^↑ Java support is in progress and the interface remains in flux. Breaking changes are possible at this stage.

Testing tools

• evmc run (tools/evmc) — executes bytecode in any EVMC-compatible VM implementation.
• evmc-vmtester (tools/vmtester) — can test any EVM implementation for compatibility with EVMC.
