Frontier

Frontier is Substrate's Ethereum compatibility layer. It allows you to run unmodified Ethereum dapps.

The goal of Ethereum compatibility layer is to be able to:

• Run a normal web3 application via the compatibility layer, using local nodes, where an extra bridge binary is acceptable.
• Be able to import state from Ethereum mainnet.

It consists of the following components:

• pallet-evm: EVM execution engine for Substrate.
• pallet-ethereum: Emulation of full Ethereum block processing.
• rpc-ethereum: Compatibility layer for web3 RPC methods.
