IOHK’s new KEVM devnet opens up Cardano for Ethereum developers

IOHK’s new KEVM devnet opens up Cardano for Ethereum developers

IOHK announced that Solidity, a programming language for writing smart contracts on Ethereum, is now compatible with the Cardano blockchain through an interoperable platform that uses Ethereum’s native code. The company has also restarted its KEVM devnet program, which enables the Ethereum Virtual Machine to run with Cardano’s K-framework.

Cardano is gearing up for an exciting 2021 with new KEVM devnet

IOHK, the company behind the Cardano blockchain, announced two major new development environments earlier this month. Both developer networks were set to allow developers to write smart contracts for Cardano and were part of the company’s larger effort to launch Goguen, the blockchain’s smart contract era.

And while enabling dApps on Cardano is, without a doubt, the largest development on the blockchain since Shelley, the fact that Ethereum developers will be able to write smart contracts in their native Solidity programming language is an even bigger deal.

According to an announcement published on Dec. 21, IOHK has now opened Cardano up to the Solidity and Ethereum community with a platform that’s compatible and interoperable with their native code. The framework has established a permanent bridge that will enable developers to work seamlessly across both ecosystems, the company explained.

As part of the effort, the company has also restarted and accelerated its K Ethereum Virtual Machine (KEVM) program—a ‘correct-by-construction’ version of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) specified in the K framework.

The K Framework is a semantics platform used to create formally-verified programming languages and virtual machines, enabling developers to define and implement the formal semantics of a programming language in an intuitive and modular way.

IOHK calls on Ethereum developers to build on Cardano
After announcing that the KEVM devnet program went live last week, IOHK finally called on Solidity developers to join the initiative on Dec. 21.

As #Cardano momentum builds into 2021, we’re inviting #Solidity developers to check out our new 2020 KEVM devnet program, which went live last week. Find all the core info you need to know right here 👇 https://t.co/uOtfwNZrbH

The company published extensive documentation for developers that want to use the KEVM. Ethereum developers can now write dApps in Solidity and then deploy them on Cardano to take advantage of the blockchain’s lower fees, quicker speeds, and enhanced functionality.

The KEVM devnet is just the latest effort coming from IOHK when it comes to the blockchain’s upcoming smart contract functionality. Other devnets, including Glow and IELE, are also set to be deployed in the following weeks.

Developed by Cardano partner MuKn, Glow is a so-called “high-level” programming language similar to JavaScript and Python. Glow will be the next devnet to be deployed on Cardano, Tim Harrison, IOHK’s marketing and communications director revealed last week. He said that most of the core development work was already done and will most likely be deployed in January 2021.

The IELE devnet will focus on ensuring that all programming languages are compatible with Cardano, allowing developers to build blockchain solutions regardless of their chosen programming language. The devnet will be connected as a side chain to the Cardano mainnet in the first half of next year.

NYDIG, a leading bitcoin financial services firm, has announced that it will welcome the CFO of Bridgewater Associates John Dalby to its team. Dalby joins NYDIG as the new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in what represents one of the biggest personnel shifts from the mainstream financial industry to the crypto world.  Contributing to the Greater Good  The new CFO held a similar position at Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund, before his appointment to NYDIG. Dalby said that he is delighted to join the team and was committed to helping NYDIG deliver innovative Bitcoin solutions to individuals and institutions.  The former CFO of Bridgewater Associates joins NYDIG during a period of rapid growth. The leading provider of investment solutions for BTC recently raised over $200M in additional capital from a group of strategic partners. The funds came from top institutions such as Morgan Stanley, MassMutual, New York Life, Liberty Mutual, Stone Ridge Holdings Group, and more.  NYDIG also launched a global Insurance Solutions practice that will spearhead the development of bitcoin-powered products and services for the global insurance sector. According to Robert Gutmann, Co-founder of NYDIG, Mr. Dalby brings deep financial services experience to help the crypto custody firm build institutional solutions that deliver BTC safely to everyone.  NYDIG to Help US Banks Offer Bitcoin In what has been viewed by many crypto enthusiasts as another step toward crypto’s mainstream adoption, NYDIG has unveiled an industry-first bitcoin solution for banks.  Rolled out in partnership with fintech giant Fidelity National Information Services, the new product will enable clients of some U.S. banks to buy, hold and sell BTC via their existing accounts.  According to Patrick Sells, head of bank solutions at NYDIG, hundreds of smaller US banks have already agreed to participate in the program. The firm is now engaging some of the leading U.S. banks to join in and enable ordinary Americans to get access to BTC through their existing bank relationships.  Until now, many BTC adopters have been forced to go outside of their traditional banking relationships to acquire the benchmark cryptocurrency.   The vast majority of traditional banks have steered clear of offering bitcoin to their retail customers. Therefore investors often rely on crypto-centric companies like Coinbase or payment giants such as Square and PayPal to purchase bitcoin.  The revolutionary solution from NYDIG will facilitate banks to offer crypto assets to their retail banking clients via a seamless, easy-to-use digital experience.  More Banks Are Asking For Bitcoin Top Wall Street banks only recently warmed up to crypto and unveiled plans to allow their wealth management clients bet on bitcoin. However, they have so far refrained from offering the service to retail customers.  Nevertheless, more traditional banks are now asking for bitcoin as demand for the asset mounts from retail banking customers.  According to Yan Zhao, president of NYDIG, these banks are under increasing pressure to offer BTC to their clients as its reputation as a store of value continues to grow.  “This is not just the banks thinking that their clients want bitcoin, they’re saying `We need to do this, because we see the data.’ They’re seeing deposits going to the Coinbases and Galaxies and Krakens of the world,” Zhao noted.  The NYDIG head predicts that giant banking institutions could soon face pressure to offer bitcoin to more clients as smaller banks roll out their own crypto services.
