cita-vm

Fast EVM implementation for CITA. Tuned for high performance, up to 5x faster than parity. Based entirely on the Ethereum Yellow Paper(Version: 2d0661f 2018-11-08).

Example

Let us begin with the most basic example. First, we initialize a database in memory:

let db = Arc::new(cita_vm::state::MemoryDB::new(false));

And, wrap this db as a WorldState

let mut state = cita_vm::state::State::new(db).unwrap();

Create some accounts in WorldState, one of them stores the SimpleStorage code.
