EVM compatibility

ZEL supports Solidity contracts and EVM tooling alongside its Cosmos-based protocol modules. EVM accounts, contracts, balances, calldata, and logs are public.

Use network access for chain IDs and endpoints, and the developer quickstart to connect a wallet or client.

Developing contracts

Follow Solidity and deployment for compiler settings, current testnet compatibility notes, and the deployment workflow. Check the contract registry before integrating with an existing contract.

JSON-RPC

Applications use Ethereum-style methods such as eth_call, eth_estimateGas, eth_sendRawTransaction, and eth_getTransactionReceipt. Verify eth_chainId before signing and estimate gas and fees for each transaction.

Availability of subscriptions, tracing, archive reads, and individual methods depends on the endpoint.
