Detailed Description

EVMC: Ethereum Client-VM Connector API.

Terms

  1. VM – An Ethereum Virtual Machine instance/implementation.
  2. Host – An entity controlling the VM. The Host requests code execution and responses to VM queries by callback functions. This usually represents an Ethereum Client.

Responsibilities

VM

  • Executes the code (obviously).
  • Calculates the running gas cost and manages the gas counter except the refund counter.
  • Controls the call depth, including the exceptional termination of execution in case the maximum depth is reached.

Host

  • Provides access to State.
  • Creates new accounts (with code being a result of VM execution).
  • Handles refunds entirely.
  • Manages the set of precompiled contracts and handles execution of messages coming to them.
