Blockchain Protocol Core: BEVM Upgrade
Go-Ethereum v1.14.11 Integration
Objective: Achieve full Ethereum tooling compatibility while preserving BlockDAG’s consensus mechanics.
Migration Highlights
Rebased BEVM on Go-Ethereum v1.14.11 for:
- Enhanced JSON-RPC interfaces
- Improved sync protocols (snap sync optimizations)
- Updated EVM opcode compliance
- Maintained BlockDAG-specific graph structures (non-linear parent references)
- Upgraded block finalization logic for DAG reconciliation
Testing Phase
- Transaction Throughput: Stress-tested at 1,000–3,000 TPS.
- Node Sync: Validated via genesis bootstrapping with DAG-aware caching.
- EVM Contracts: Verified ERC-20/721/1155 deployments and event emissions.
Next Steps:
- Integrate OpenTelemetry for consensus metrics.
- Optimize state pruning and snapshotting.
