Quick Start

Quick start guide for developing on BEVM

Quick Overview

BEVM is a Bitcoin Layer-2 Network developed based on Substrate, fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

As a result, you can engage in comprehensive interactions with BEVM using the Ethereum API and Substrate API. BEVM employs the same account system as Ethereum, and your mnemonic phrase and private key are interchangeable with your Ethereum account. Consequently, you can use Metamask or other wallets fully compatible with Ethereum to interact with BEVM.

Finality

Typically, it takes 3 blocks (~18 seconds) to be finalized. Considering the potential fluctuations in a PoS network, we provide a more secure method for finality detection.

1. bevm_isBlockFinalized Parameter: EVM block hash Example:

   curl --location 'https://rpc-mainnet-1.bevm.io' \
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --data '{
     "jsonrpc":"2.0",
     "method":"bevm_isBlockFinalized",
     "params":["0x0e5a331fb3cffea6900357a14079eed0e38fbeae633069b831ce124e05b2b0a3"],
     "id":1
   }'

2. bevm_isTxFinalized Parameter: EVM transaction hash Example:

   curl --location 'https://rpc-mainnet-1.bevm.io' \
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   --data '{
     "jsonrpc":"2.0",
     "method":"bevm_isTxFinalized",
     "params":["0xc86fe836e177d05399cb31e7a72a37ca40b287ba4f73ba347fbc8adba7fece62"],
     "id":1
   }'
