With 2 man-years of engineering effort, solx has already reached a state where it produces better runtime gas efficiency than solc’s --via-ir --optimize pipeline — and it does so without tuning the LLVM optimizer or implementing any EVM-specific optimizations yet.

solx is a new optimizing compiler for Ethereum smart-contracts that could change the way you write and optimize Solidity code. Built on LLVM, solx focuses on improving runtime gas efficiency while reducing the need for manual workarounds.

On April 13th, a compromised admin account minted the remaining unclaimed tokens from the ZK token Merkle distributors used for the ZKsync June 17th 2024 airdrop. The hacker successfully took control of 111,881,122 ZK tokens (equivalent to ~$5M at the moment of the initial transaction). The transaction can be viewed here.

Our long-term goal has always been full EVM equivalence. The first step is an EVM Emulator that runs on top of EraVM and allows EVM bytecode execution. Native EVM Execution (Coming Soon).
