Cardano to open up to Ethereum Solidity devs with new initiative
KEVM will allow deploying Solidity smart contracts to Cardano. Solidity, a major programming language for writing smart contracts, will soon become compatible with the Cardano (ADA) blockchain.According to a Dec. 17 announcement on Cardano Developers website, Cardano devs are now opening up Cardano to the Solidity and Ethereum community through an interoperable platform that uses native Ethereum code.As part of the effort, Cardano developers are planning to restart and accelerate their K Ethereum Virtual Machine, or KEVM developer network, or devnet, program. The devnet envisions an EVM....

Is this the beginning of the end of Ethereum? That’s the question posed in a Bitcoin subreddit devoted to new information and discussion about Bitcoin and its ecosystem. The comment comes after the announcement by Counterparty that it is porting the Ethereum Virtual Machine to the Bitcoin Blockchain. That will facilitate all of the functionality of Ethereum on Bitcoin except for some features like the block times. Solidity. Smart contracts executed via Counterparty's port of the EVM use the exact same language as Ethereum smart contracts, a language known as Solidity whose syntax is....
Ethereum itself seems to be flawed according to the latest developments on the DAO Hack. Philip Daian, a researcher at Cornell University’s Initiative for Crytocurrencies & Contracts, just presented his latest findings on the hack, concluding: I would lay at least 50% of the blame for this exploit squarely at the feet of the design of the Solidity language. This may bolster the case for certain types of corrective action. I refuse to lay the blame exclusively on a poorly coded contract when the contract, even if coded using best practices and the following language documentation....
Recently, Consensys pushed out a press release announcing the support of Ethereum’s high-level programming language, Solidity, within Microsoft’s Visual Studio. Solidity will be supported within Visual Studio as a Decentralized Application project type. Readers will remember other Consensys/ Azure integrations from the not so distant past. Concensys, as you will remember, is part of the Ethereum family. A quick refresher on the gist of the Consensys group: “ConsenSys is a venture production studio that specializes in building core components, decentralized applications (DApps), enterprise....
