A place for talking about the Ethereum Virtual Machine on Farcaster.

I've been trying to understand why doesn't EVM work based on parallel execution, like SVM, and why aren't there discussions around this as an endgame. Now questioning even more after hearing this great podcast

In case you hadn't seen this one. Same angle, Andre explaining their optimization efforts on fantom. And I was like, why is nobody on ethereum doing these things?

But I believe that changing an existing non-parallel system into a parallel system would be more susceptible to errors, bugs and much more difficult to code compared to building based on parallelisation from day one. Also, an update like this would break every existing smart contract, because of compatibility.

I think they did not even go the parallelization route. It was mostly data structure and storage optimisations and a bunch of consensus upgrades.

Yes, but parallelization is crucial. I seriously don’t understand why this is not on the table.
