Parallel-EVM is a high-performance Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) execution engine written in Go, designed to execute smart contract transactions in parallel. It enables significantly higher throughput by intelligently grouping non-conflicting transactions for concurrent execution.
Traditional EVMs process transactions sequentially, which becomes a bottleneck as blockchain networks scale. Parallel-EVM overcomes this by:
- Analyzing state access patterns of transactions
- Grouping independent transactions
- Executing multiple transaction groups in parallel
- Safely merging state changes post execution
This project targets developers, researchers, and infrastructure builders seeking to improve EVM throughput and scalability.
- Parallel Execution Engine: Built with Go’s native concurrency primitives for performance and reliability.
- Transaction Grouping Algorithm: Detects read/write conflicts and clusters transactions accordingly.
- State Merge Engine: Ensures correctness by safely reconciling parallel execution results.
- Modular Architecture: Easy to integrate with existing Layer 1 or Layer 2 infrastructure.
- Go 1.18 or later
- Git
