EVM Parachain Template

This is the Pop CLI EVM parachain template.

It is based on the Polkadot SDK and is updated by R0GUE after releases in the main Polkadot SDK monorepo.

• ⏫ This template provides a starting point to build an EVM parachain.

• ☁️ It is based on the Cumulus framework.

• 🔧 Its runtime is configured with Frontier, enabling compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

Template Structure

A Polkadot SDK based project such as this one consists of:

• 💿 Node - the binary application.
• 🧮 Runtime - the core logic of the parachain.

Getting Started

Install Pop CLI - the all-in-one Polkadot development tool:

Detailed installation instructions can be found here.

cargo install --force --locked pop-cli

Start a new parachain project with this template:

pop new parachain

When prompted, select 'Pop' as the template provider and 'EVM' as the type of parachain.

More info can be found here.
