Introduction

What is an Abstract Blockchain?​

An abstract blockchain decouples blockchain infrastructure from physical implementation, opening possibilities that weren't viable before. Think of it as having your own blockchain without the headache of managing validators, nodes, and physical infrastructure.

EVVM enables "virtual blockchains" to live securely on top of host blockchains, like having a virtual machine (VM) for blockchains.

Revolutionary Architecture​

Virtual Blockchain Infrastructure​

  • Infrastructure Decoupling: Separate blockchain logic from physical infrastructure requirements
  • Host Blockchain Security: Virtual blockchains inherit security from the underlying host network
  • Zero Infrastructure Overhead: Get blockchain benefits without managing physical infrastructure
  • Instant Deployment: Launch blockchain environments without complex setup procedures

Vertical Scalability​

  • Multiple Virtual Blockchains: One or several EVVMs can operate on a single host blockchain
  • Unprecedented Scaling: Achieve incredible vertical scalability through virtualization
  • Resource Optimization: Efficient utilization of host blockchain resources

Gasless Communication​

  • Fishing Spot System: Any communication medium that can transmit data can serve as a fishing spot
  • Unlimited Channels: Traditional APIs, messaging systems, radio waves, or any data transmission method
  • Flexible Input Reception: Any medium capable of receiving and processing transaction inputs
  • Cost Elimination: Zero gas fees for transactions transmitted through alternative communication channels

Target Audience​

For Organizations and Protocols​

EVVM enables any organization to leverage blockchain technology, including protocols, enterprises, banks, public sector, and many others:

  • Custom On-Chain Infrastructure: Implement your own blockchain rules and optimizations
  • Blockchain-as-a-Service: Access blockchain functionality without infrastructure management
  • Flexible Implementation: Adapt blockchain technology to any specific requirements
  • Operational Simplicity: Gain blockchain benefits without technical complexity

For Developers​

EVVM is your new superpower with three development approaches:

1. Deploy Your Own EVVM​

Create your own isolated, custom blockchain environment

2. Build Within an EVVM​

Collaborate in larger, existing blockchain ecosystems

3. Experiment Without Limits​

Use EVVM as a testing ground for future technologies
