Artela public chain launches EVM++, promoting blockchain scalability

The public chain Artela announces the next phase of its R&D: EVM++, which enhances the performance of the Artela network through parallel EVM and supports the mass adoption of decentralized applications with advanced settings for elastic blocks.

Previously, the Artela public chain achieved an important milestone in ecological development by completing the construction of EVM+ features and launching a public testnet. Through the EVM+WASM paradigm, it allows developers to build on-chain extensions using Aspect programming, achieving breakthrough cases in areas such as AI+Crypto, full-chain gaming, and DeFi security, establishing numerous ecological partnerships in these directions.

EVM++ embodies Artela's ultimate vision: to unlock both the extensibility and scalability of EVM blockchains to adapt to the new crypto world, where useful technologies like AI, DePIN, and DeFi Security are rapidly integrating into crypto applications.

Today, we announce the launch of EVM++, an upgrade to our next-generation EVM execution layer technology. It achieves native extensibility through EVM+WASM, unlocking the extensibility of blockchains while supporting parallel execution to realize blockchain scalability.

EVM++ aims to expand the boundaries of EVM to adapt to the new crypto world: the product power and innovation of web2 are merging, and useful technologies like AI, DePIN, and DeFi Security are accelerating their integration into crypto applications. EVM++ allows existing EVM assets, protocols, and foundational implementations to seamlessly connect with new ones, facilitating mass adoption applications and accelerating the integration of crypto with the mainstream at the application level.

EVM+ in Artela Network

Over the past year, Artela has built a highly scalable EVM+ network. Based on Aspect Programming, we have added a WASM virtual machine to the EVM-compatible network to dynamically add and run on-chain extension programs. Applications can utilize EVM+ to develop high-performance protocols, build modular applications, and customize underlying features for specific applications.

During the DevNet and Public Testnet phases, we deeply explored the potential of the EVM+ network with highly creative developers, resulting in many imaginative use cases:

• WASM as an on-chain co-processor, breakthrough in running AI-agent algorithms and other high-performance modules on-chain while maintaining interoperability with EVM.
• AI-agent participation in full-chain gaming, enabling truly programmable NPCs in the on-chain autonomous world.
• Opt-in security risk control modules that can execute in real-time during runtime, allowing DeFi protocols to identify and block suspicious transactions in real-time.

A network that can unlock full-chain applications, AI, and secure DeFi while retaining compatibility and interoperability with the EVM world is on the horizon.

From EVM+ to EVM++

Artela's vision is to build a network that can scale without boundaries. EVM+ is not the final goal but a starting point. Next, Artela will enter the next development phase: EVM++, a parallel EVM+ network that fully unleashes the potential of scalable blockchains.

EVM+ unlocks the extensibility of EVM, aiming to expand its boundaries to adapt to the new crypto world: the product power and innovation of web2 are merging, and useful technologies like AI, DePIN, and Fintech are accelerating their integration into crypto applications. EVM+ allows existing EVM assets, protocols, and foundational implementations to seamlessly connect with new ones, rather than causing isolation in a non-EVM world.

EVM++ unlocks the scalability of EVM, enabling this highly creative network to further support mass adoption applications and accelerate the integration of crypto with the mainstream at the application level.

A fully-chain, intelligent, secure, and scalable EVM network is on the way, and we are accelerating its arrival.

EVM++, A Parallel Elastic EVM Network

Artela's parallel EVM++ will be implemented in two phases.

The first phase is to achieve parallel execution of transactions under EVM+. The Artela network will not only implement basic parallel EVM but also solve the problem of parallel execution under EVM+. Aspect is an extension program running in the WASM virtual machine within the Artela network, which will be called during the transaction lifecycle.

In the second phase, Artela will fully utilize the characteristics of parallelism, further combining elastic computing to achieve elastic block space, a dynamic elastic network that allows dApps to maximize the use of parallel execution features.

Overview of Parallel EVM

Artela's horizontal scaling architecture will be designed around parallel execution. Based on parallel execution, elastic computing will ensure that the computational power of network nodes is scalable, ultimately achieving elastic block space.

• Parallel Execution: The Artela network groups transactions based on transaction dependency conflict analysis to support parallel execution.
• Elastic Computing: Validator nodes support horizontal scaling, and the network automatically adjusts the computational nodes of validators based on current network load or subscription conditions. The expansion process is coordinated by an elastic protocol to ensure there are enough elastic computing nodes in the consensus network.
• Elastic Block Space: Based on elastic computing, in addition to expanding public block space, large dApps with independent block space needs can apply for dedicated elastic block space within the network.

Elastic Block Space

Elastic block space refers to dynamically expanded block space that provides independent block space with protocol guarantees for dApps with high transaction throughput requirements. By default, the capacity of the public block space in blocks is limited. When a dApp applies for independent block space, additional space will be added to the block, which only accommodates transactions related to the dApp's smart contracts. As the block space expands, validators need to add elastic execution nodes to increase the corresponding processing capacity. Elastic block space is a scaling mechanism for blockchains that achieves infinite scalability while maintaining interoperability. Scalable networks such as sharded blockchains, appchains, and layer2 can also provide independent block space, but their block spaces are isolated from each other and cannot interoperate. Elastic block space allows dApps with independent block space to synchronize interactions through atomic transactions within the same block, avoiding the need for asynchronous cross-chain communication. When dApps in the Artela network have high scalability demands, they can subscribe to elastic block space to handle throughput growth. Elastic block space and native extensibility provide scalability and customizable features for dApps in Artela.
