I’ve always found the separation between Solana and EVM development a bit unnecessary. You have Solana offering fast, cheap execution, while a huge portion of crypto’s applications are still built with Solidity. Developers end up choosing between the two, even when their applications could benefit from both. That’s why I like what @RomeProtocol is building. Rome runs an EVM directly inside Solana as a single program, rather than treating the two environments as separate chains that need bridging. The setup allows: 1. Solidity contracts to call Solana programs in one atomic transaction. 2. EVM and Solana users to keep their respective wallets. 3. Both sides to interact with the same contract state and liquidity. And this is already live on Solana mainnet, with a Halborn audit and public code. You can also trace EVM transactions back to their Solana instructions on the Via explorer. For me, the appeal is pretty simple. Developers shouldn’t have to abandon familiar tooling just to build applications that tap into Solana. Rome gives them a way to work across both environments without splitting the underlying state.
