Ethereum Beyond Limits: Meet the 5 EVM Chains Changing the Game

• ZK-EVM technology, which Taiko uses, can be considered a solution to the problem of Ethereum scalability without losing security and compatibility.
• Interconnection between the blockchains, such as Moonriver and Kava, is becoming a vital function for reaching new audiences 
• Base and Godwoken are Layer-2 solutions that solve scalability problems at the same time as keeping strong connections with original blockchains.

The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) has emerged as one of the fundamental building blocks of blockchain engineering. EVM allows developers to write and deploy smart contracts across different platforms. EVM-compatible chains propose new solutions to the problems of scalability, interoperability, and user experience. This article present five disruptive platforms which are highlighting fresh horizons in the blockchain field.

Taiko: Pioneering Type 1 ZK-EVM Technology

Taiko is a notable example of a successful ZK-EVM protocol integration. This platform is designed to improve Ethereum’s scalability without any loss of compatibility with the current smart contracts and tools. Taiko’s approach to layer 2 scaling looks to dramatically decrease the cost per transaction and increase the TPS without sacrificing security or decentralization.

Moonriver: Bridging Polkadot and Ethereum Ecosystems

Moonriver has become one of the best parachains in the Kusama ecosystem, connecting the Polkadot and Ethereum networks. Moonriver also offers full EVM compatibility, meaning that dApp developers can easily port their Ethereum-based applications with minimal changes. This integration leads to the advancement of solutions built on blockchain and the extension of blockchain projects across various networks.

Godwoken: Elevating Layer-2 Solutions on Nervous Network

Godwoken is the only solution of its kind, based on the Nervous Network for layer 2. For the former, its EVM implementation enables the direct deployment of Ethereum dApps while also utilizing the distinct structure of Nervos. According to the scale and interoperability concept of Godwoken, it can be seen that it is a suitable platform for developers in terms of high performance and cross-chain.

Base: Coin base’s Foray into Scaling Solutions

Base is created by the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase which turns out to be an extraordinary layer-2 network focused on Ethereum’s problems with scalability. Constructed using Optimism’s OP Stack, Base intends to offer a low-fee, high-speed environment for dApps. That is why its integration with Coinbase’s large user base can contribute to the widespread adoption of layer-2 solutions.

Kava: Blending Cosmos and Ethereum Functionalities

Kava sets itself apart with the foundation of the Cosmos ecosystem and full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. This versatile approach enables developers to incorporate the best features of both platforms to provide a powerful framework for building and deploying decentralized applications. Kava being decentralized can provide developers and users of blockchain solutions exposure to a wide variety of solutions and applications all under one umbrella.
