Check out our blog with the latest news, stories and announcement from the NeonEVM ecosystem.
We carefully collect and answer the most popular questions in our community.
Neon EVM is an Ethereum Virtual Machine running as a smart contract on Solana, allowing developers to deploy EVM-compatible dApps without code changes, enabling their EVM smart contracts to directly access to Solana programs and liquidity. Furthermore, Solana users can interact with these EVM smart contracts using their Solana wallets through our SDK.
If you want to use an EVM wallet to interact with smart contracts on Neon EVM, you need to transfer NEON tokens to your wallet to pay for gas fees. Use our onboarding page to either bridge from Solana or from other EVM chains.
To begin building on Neon, follow our Quick Start Guide.
Deploy your existing EVM contracts or create new applications on Neon using EVM development tools you know and love.
Upcoming events in the Neon community are listed on our events page.
You can also sign up for Neon’s newsletter to stay in the loop.
If an in-person Neon event is happening near you, why not come and say hello?
Building applications on Solana requires a different approach than in the EVM world due to key architectural differences, such as Solana’s stateless program model, complex account management, and compute budget planning. It also requires Solidity developers to learn Rust.
Neon EVM abstracts this complexity by providing an Ethereum-compatible environment on Solana, making it easier for developers to create applications for Solana native users.

Neon EVM is a smart contract on Solana acting as the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
It is compiled into Berkeley Packet Filter bytecode, a format that can be executed on Solana.
This allows Neon EVM to receive Solana transactions that contain wrapped Ethereum-like transactions and process them on Solana according to Ethereum rules.
You can view our roadmap on our Blog.
