Cairo EVM bytecode interpreter — a.k.a. the Zk-EVM

⚠️ WARNING! ⚠️

This repo contains highly experimental code. Expect rapid iteration.

🎟️ Description

Implementing the EVM in Cairo is both a fun technical challenge and an actual way to port Solidity smart contracts to Starknet.

We are talking here about an in-contract Ethereum bytecode interpreter. This is not the same approach as Warp, which is a Solidity->Cairo transpiler.

It leads the way to more complex use cases, such as a full-fledged EVM-compatible layer 3.
