Neon EVM announced a transformative Solana-native framework, unveiling a suite of features aimed at integrating Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dApps) into the Solana ecosystem.
The new architecture, detailed in a comprehensive white paper published on December 3, enables direct interaction between Solana wallets and Ethereum applications while leveraging Solana’s high-performance infrastructure.
The release introduces key features such as Solana wallet compatibility for Ethereum transactions, an on-chain memory pool for scalable execution, and intent-based operations enabling conditional transactions such as automated token swaps.
With these innovations, users can sign Neon EVM transactions using Solana wallets including Phantom, Backpack, and Solflare, eliminating the need for separate Ethereum wallets. The update significantly simplifies portfolio management while ensuring users maintain full control of their assets.
Davide Menegaldo, Chief Commercial Officer of Neon EVM, highlighted the importance of the update, calling it a significant milestone in cross-chain functionality.
He said:
“This release unifies user experience and liquidity, providing a seamless bridge between Solana and Ethereum dApps.”
He added that the upcoming software development kit (SDK) would allow developers to fully explore these capabilities, paving the way for wider adoption of Ethereum-based applications on Solana.
The white paper also highlights infrastructure enhancements such as Associated Neon Accounts, which simplify liquidity management by linking Solana public keys to EVM-compatible addresses, and controlled transaction trees, enabling atomic execution and parallel for complex applications.
Additionally, the on-chain memory pool facilitates efficient transaction planning and execution, thereby reducing costs and improving scalability. The integration should benefit both users and developers.
Solana users have access to Ethereum’s robust dApp ecosystem without leaving the Solana environment, while developers can deploy Ethereum applications with minimal friction by leveraging the speed and efficiency of the network. For DeFi platforms, improving liquidity and reducing transaction costs could lead to greater efficiency and adoption.
Neon EVM’s advancements mark a significant milestone in cross-chain collaboration, connecting two of the most dynamic blockchain ecosystems. By addressing interoperability and usability challenges, the platform is poised to redefine how Ethereum-native applications interact with Solana infrastructure.
