In a significant stride towards enhancing interoperability and communication within the blockchain ecosystem, WeaveVM has unveiled elciao, a new open-source tool designed to expose Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) data to ao processes. This announcement marks a pivotal moment in blockchain history, with WeaveVM also introducing the EIP-7689 and testnet v0 specifications, seamlessly integrating SmartWeave contracts and MEM functions within WeaveVM blobspace. The advancement can be perceived as a significant stride towards broader compatibility between EVM and Arweave compute layers.
As the ao ecosystem gains traction as a new parallel computer built on Arweave, efforts have been made to focus on facilitating the verification of EVM transactions and contract states, while also enabling the storage of state changes and proofs permanently and enhancing seamless communication between EVM and ao. The EVM Light Client Indexer (elciao) for ao, facilitates the transmission of EVM data to ao processes, empowering developers with enhanced capabilities.
Darwin, CTO, and Co-founder of decent.land, expressed his excitement about elciao's potential, highlighting its role in bridging the gap between Ethereum and other EVMs within the ao ecosystem. He emphasized the importance of elciao as a Proof of Concept (PoC) and encouraged developers to engage with the technology, envisioning a network of trustless and decentralized data on aoTheComputer. “It's the first step to feeding Ethereum and other EVMs data into AO. This MVP is the first step, but elciao can be a network of trustless and decentralized data onn@aoTheComputer!”... He stated.
Light clients, such as elciao, offer a streamlined alternative to full nodes, requiring less computational power and storage space. This accessibility makes blockchain tasks more achievable for a broader audience, democratizing access to blockchain technology.
Elciao operates by continuously streaming EVM data to ao processes. Built on Lodestar, elciao stores future EVM block metadata, and proofs on Arweave, ensuring permanence and accessibility. By storing EVM data on Arweave, elciao opens up new possibilities for developers in the ao ecosystem. It enables quick and easy access to transactions and smart contract information without extensive resource requirements.
Looking towards the future, WeaveVM has outlined a roadmap for elciao to further enhance its capabilities and transition towards a decentralized network model on ao. Plans include integrating elciao as an ao module and establishing a network of decentralized elciao nodes.
