# revm - Rust Ethereum Virtual Machine
Is EVM written in rust that is focused on **speed** and **simplicity**. It has fast and flexible implementation with simple interface and embedded Host. It is passing all `ethereum/tests` test suits
Here is list of things that i would like to use as guide in this project:
- **EVM compatibility and stability** - this goes without saying but it is nice to put it here. In blockchain industry, stability is most desired attribute of any system.
- **Speed** - is one of the most important things and most decisions are made to complement this.
- **Simplicity** - simplification of internals so that it can be easily understood and extended, and interface that can be easily used or integrated into other projects.
- **interfacing** - `[no_std]` so that it can be used as wasm lib and integrate with JavaScript and cpp binding if needed.
# Project
structure:
* crates
* revm -> main EVM library.
* revm-primitives -> Primitive data types.
* revm-interpreter -> Execution loop with instructions
* revm-precompiles -> EVM precompiles
* bins:
* revme: cli binary, used for running state test json
* revm-test: test binaries with contracts, used mostly to check performance
There were some big efforts on optimization of revm:
* Optimizing interpreter loop: https://github.com/bluealloy/revm/issues/7
* Introducing Bytecode format (and better bytecode analysis): https://github.com/bluealloy/revm/issues/121
* Unification of instruction signatures: https://github.com/bluealloy/revm/pull/283
# Running eth tests
go to `cd bins/revme/`
Download eth tests from (this will take some time): `git clone https://github.com/ethereum/tests`
run tests with command: `cargo run --release -- statetest tests/GeneralStateTests/`
`GeneralStateTests` contains all tests related to EVM.
## Running benchmarks
```shell
cargo run --package revm-test --release --bin snailtracer
```
```shell
cargo flamegraph --root --freq 4000 --min-width 0.001 --package revm-test --bin snailtracer
```
