Velas is a pioneering Solana L1 fork with full EVM compatibility, bridging the gap between the familiar Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) environment and unparalleled performance. Velas features a highly unique dual-chain architecture that seamlessly merges the robust security and established developer ecosystem of the EVM with Solana's lightning-fast transaction processing capabilities. This hybrid approach opens up a world of possibilities for Ethereum projects looking to escape congestion and scale to new heights. The standout feature of Velas is its full EVM compatibility, allowing existing Ethereum smart contracts to be migrated seamlessly with a single click. This eliminates the need for costly code rewrites and preserves the valuable expertise invested in the EVM ecosystem. This one-click migration ensures a smooth transition, enabling developers to leverage their existing skills and tools on a platform optimized for speed and scalability. By leveraging Solana’s parallel transaction processing, Velas delivers lightning-fast speeds exceeding 75,000 TPS. This results in near-instantaneous transaction finality and minimal fees, a stark contrast to the congested and expensive Ethereum environment. For dApps and users, this means a smoother, more efficient experience.
