EVM-compatible Meetup
This October meetup by Cyber Academy focused on the Ethereum Virtual Machine and the blockchains compatible with it. We explored how Solidity compiles to EVM bytecode, how EVM runs on Solana, and how to structure liquidity for prediction markets.
Speakers:
Elshan Jafarov, Blockchain Engineer, Fluence Labs
Talk: How Solidity Compiles to EVM Bytecode
A deep dive into EVM architecture: stack, memory, and storage; how EVM handles calldata and memory; gas optimization techniques and Solidity’s data layout under the hood.
Marina Guryeva, CEO, Neon Labs
Talk: The Challenges of Enabling EVM-Functionality on Solana Blockchain
Covered the technical design of running EVM inside Solana; how Solana’s runtime architecture differs from Ethereum; and how atomicity and parallel execution were achieved.
Semen Medvedev, Head of Development, Neon Labs
Talk: Neon Beyond Ethereum – EVM on Solana. Keynote and Demo
Live demo showing how to deploy EVM contracts to Solana using Metamask and Remix. Explained Neon’s bridge to SPL tokens and their custom gas metering logic.
Dan Kaiser, Core Contributor, Azuro Protocol
Talk: Liquidity Tree: A New Liquidity Pool Design for Specialized Prediction Markets
Introduced a novel tree-based liquidity structure designed to minimize risk from fraud in prediction markets, with optimized gas costs using segment trees.
