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

Functionality I deeply want: the ability for smart contracts to take action based on certain onchain events

For example: if wallet A sends ETH to wallet B, smart contract does X

Is this possible today / is anyone working on this?

It's called event based smart contracts,  basically allowing smart contracts to subscribe to on chain events

Found some research here: https://ethresear.ch/t/event-driven-smart-contract-development/3047

I think there have been attempts, but the issue is that it introduces a lot of complexity to the VM

The closest to this I'm aware of is offchain hooks that trigger other onchain actions, like:

building /fluidkey // moritz.fkey.id // thoughts at moritz.ooo

It would be better for composability to be fully onchain

trying to sound smart /doingnumbers

one way to do it is to implement a function that a searcher can call once the condition is met and get rewarded for it

very expensive on mainnet and/or without token emissions tho
