Cardano will reportedly be offering support for the deployment of Solidity – a well-known programming language for smart contracts design – as well as making itself available to the Ethereum community.

Specifically, the developing team behind Cardano is reportedly working to get Solidity in sync with the Cardano blockchain, via an interoperable platform employing native Ethereum code.

As included in the initiative, Cardano developers are reportedly looking to restart and speed up their K Ethereum Virtual Machine (KEVM) developer network program. 

Per the vision of the devnet, there will reportedly be an EVM operating upon what is referred to as “K framework” – a network dedicated to the specification and development of languages and virtual machines.

K reportedly has a goal to equip developers the power to intuitively and modularly define or implement formal semantics of a programming language. The system is created with a goal to assist with designing code, with enhanced security and reliability from the start. 

 “K also generates an executable, ‘correct by construction VM’ from its formal specification, which is fast and powerful enough to run real programs and smart contracts”. 

As soon as the implementation is complete, the K framework reportedly looks to establish a bridge between Cardano’s blockchain with Solidity, allowing developers to work throughout both systems. 

“Because Solidity is a high-level language similar to JavaScript and C++, it cannot be directly executed by the EVM. Solidity programs must be compiled to assembly language (EVM bytecode) first, so they can run on the KEVM,” IOHK’s marketing director, Tim Harrison, reportedly remarked.
