Today I want to discuss something that seems like a technical detail but actually determines life and death—EVM compatibility.

Many people hear this term and get overwhelmed, but don’t worry. In plain language, it means: code that runs on Ethereum can also run on this chain with minimal adjustments. It sounds simple, but how impactful is it? Let me break it down into three points.

First is the issue of developer resources. The Ethereum community is the largest blockchain developer hub in the world, and that’s no exaggeration. EVM compatibility is like giving this group a pass—there’s no need to learn new things from scratch or adapt to unfamiliar development environments; you can just migrate directly. The barrier drops from “learning a new language” to “configuring an RPC node.” What does this bring? Many developers will be willing to give it a try.

Second, the entire Ethereum ecosystem has accumulated tools, frameworks, and standard contracts over the years that can be directly reused. Development tools like Hardhat and Foundry, wallets like MetaMask, and mature codebases for DeFi and NFTs—these have been refined over many years, and now you can use them. From another perspective, your ecosystem development isn’t starting from zero but standing on the shoulders of giants from day one.

The last point is the most critical: quickly forming application scenarios. Don’t underestimate the stability of the stablecoin settlement track, but to succeed in this space, you need DeFi protocols, wallets, oracles, cross-chain bridges—all essential infrastructure. EVM compatibility allows these applications to deploy at the fastest speed, so users can start interacting immediately, and network effects will naturally develop.

In short, this isn’t just a technical choice; it’s a strategic decision that determines the speed of ecosystem explosion.
