Paradigm releases evm2, an EVM with built-in JIT compilation

  • —evm2 is written in Rust and compiles code at runtime via JIT
  • —The repo claims up to 2x faster execution than revm
  • —Developers can adjust opcodes, gas rules and tx types without changing core code
  • —Audit is done, but rollout dates for Foundry, Reth and Tempo were not given
Why it matters: A faster EVM could speed up contract execution and Foundry testing, though the real impact depends on adoption by Reth and other clients.
