DFINITY, the team behind The Internet Computer blockchain, announced via X on Friday that the EVM RPC canister beta is now live on the Internet Computer (ICP) blockchain.
The EVM RPC canister is a service that lets developers easily build integrations between ICP canister smart contracts and Ethereum smart contracts. It simplifies the process of procuring, managing, and paying for API keys for various EVM RPC providers. The feature also helps keep dapps secure by automatically inferring consensus among multiple RPC providers with each outbound request.
DFINITY further explained that the EVM RPC canister abstracts away much of the complexity around managing keys and querying the Ethereum network for blocks, transactions, and other data with an easy-to-use, on-chain API.
It performs automatic consensus inference by sending requests to multiple providers in parallel and ensuring the responses agree. It also lets developers send requests to other EVM chains through a generic request interface.
The Internet Computer is a layer-1 protocol that is developed by the DFINITY Foundation and aims to become a blockchain network that evolves the internet’. ICP, the native token of the Internet Computer ecosystem, is down by more than 2% over the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $12.960.
