Python implementation of the Ethereum Virtual Machine
Project description
Python Implementation of the Ethereum protocol
Py-EVM
Py-EVM is a new implementation of the Ethereum protocol in Python. It contains the low level primitives for the existing Ethereum 1.0 chain as well as emerging support for the upcoming Ethereum 2.0 / Serenity spec.
Goals
Py-EVM aims to eventually become the defacto Python implementation of the Ethereum protocol, enabling a wide array of use cases for both public and private chains.
In particular Py-EVM aims to:
-
be a reference implementation of the Ethereum 1.0 and 2.0 implementation in one of the most widely used and understood languages, Python.
-
be easy to understand and modifiable
-
have clear and simple APIs
-
come with solid, friendly documentation
-
deliver the low level primitives to build various clients on top (including full and light clients)
-
be highly flexible to support both research as well as alternate use cases like private chains.
Trinity
While Py-EVM provides the low level APIs of the Ethereum protocol, it does not aim to implement a full or light node directly.
Goals
-
provide a reference implementation for an Ethereum 1.0 node (alpha)
-
support "full" and "light" modes
-
fully support mainnet as well as several testnets
-
provide a reference implementation of an Ethereum 2.0 / Serenity beacon node (pre-alpha)
-
provide a reference implementation of an Ethereum 2.0 / Sereneity validator node (pre-alpha)
