One of crypto’s biggest inefficiencies is having liquidity and applications that can’t interact without additional infrastructure. Ethereum has established DeFi protocols. Solana has its own liquidity and native applications. But developers shouldn’t have to rebuild everything just to access both. That’s the approach @RomeProtocol is taking. Rome runs a real EVM inside Solana, allowing Ethereum-compatible applications and Solana programs to share liquidity and state. > Solidity contracts can run using familiar Ethereum tooling. > Solana-native programs can interact with EVM applications. > Both environments can access the same underlying market state. The compelling part isn’t simply supporting two developer ecosystems. It’s reducing the separation between applications that were originally built for different execution environments. One state, different ways to access it.
