Dfinity Foundation announced the launch of a new API that allows Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) smart contracts to be read and written to any Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), according to a statement.
“Smart contracts on Internet Computer can now communicate with any EVM chain. This means decentralized applications (Dapps) can benefit from cross-chain liquidity, unify communities, and simplify handling of API keys,” said Lomesh Dutta, Vice President of Growth at Dfinity Foundation said in the statement. “We've added Optimism, Arbitrum, and Base, [but] anyone can add other EVMs at any time.”
Dutta added that Internet Computer smart contracts have worked with Bitcoin and Ethereum on projects like Bioniq, Bitfinity and Omnity.
The move to enhance interoperability between the Internet Computer and other blockchains is part of the Dfinity Foundation's Chain Fusion initiative. The organization, a major contributor to the Internet Computer protocol, said the Internet Computer will soon be able to interact with the Solana blockchain, according to a statement.
Chief Scientist and Founder of Dfinity Foundation, Dominic Williams, sees Internet Computer as the “only third-generation” blockchain capable of driving a new internet era where all online activity is completely on-chain.
