Solenoid: Lessons from Building an Async-First, Wasm-Native EVM in Rust

Sergey Melnychuk

What happens when you prioritize WebAssembly portability and asynchronous execution over raw micro-optimizations?

This talk explores Solenoid, a "plain and simple" Ethereum Virtual Machine implementation written from scratch. We’ll discuss the architectural challenges of mapping a synchronous VM spec to Rust’s async ecosystem and the reality of the "performance tax" when targeting the browser.
