HeLa Runtime (EVM)
HeLa Chain adopts a multi-layered architecture, deliberately separating consensus and runtime functionalities into distinct layers. This design provides modularity, security, and scalability — ensuring that the consensus engine and execution environment operate independently but cohesively.
At the core of this architecture lies the HeLa Runtime Layer, which has been purposefully engineered to be EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible. This decision carries significant benefits for developers, projects, and the broader ecosystem.
EVM Compatibility
The HeLa Runtime Layer is fully Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible. This compatibility is a deliberate design choice, enabling seamless integration with the vast developer and project ecosystem already established on Ethereum.
Key Advantages
Effortless Migration of Existing dApps The primary motivation behind this compatibility is to enable the effortless deployment of existing EVM-based projects onto the HeLa Chain. A substantial portion of decentralized applications (dApps) are written in Solidity, the most widely used programming language for smart contracts on Ethereum. EVM compatibility allows these applications to be deployed on HeLa Chain with little to no modification, lowering friction for adoption.
Faster Development Cycles Developers can leverage their existing skillsets, frameworks, and workflows. This reduces onboarding time, shortens the development lifecycle, and accelerates the creation of new projects and use cases on HeLa Chain.
Enhancing Existing dApps with HeLa Features Beyond compatibility, developers can enrich their existing Ethereum-based dApps by integrating HeLa’s unique platform-specific features. This unlocks opportunities for creativity and innovation without requiring teams to abandon their established tools.
Ecosystem Alignment
By introducing an EVM-compatible runtime layer, HeLa Chain creates a familiar and accessible environment for Ethereum developers to transition and build upon.
This alignment achieves two key outcomes:
Welcoming Ethereum’s Global Developer Community: The ecosystem can directly leverage the knowledge, resources, and momentum of one of the world’s largest blockchain developer bases.
Accelerated Ecosystem Growth: Lower entry barriers allow projects to deploy rapidly, driving experimentation, adoption, and the emergence of pioneering blockchain solutions.
In effect, HeLa’s EVM compatibility not only ensures continuity with Ethereum but also positions the platform as a hub of innovation, bridging the established Ethereum ecosystem with the new opportunities available exclusively on HeLa.
