fhEVM v0.3: New Stack and Better Performances
Blog post from Zama
Zama's latest version of fhEVM introduces a new technical stack and the release of fhevm-go, which enhances integration with Go-Ethereum-based blockchains by isolating the FHE operations library for cleaner code maintenance. Notably, performance improvements are achieved with the updated TFHE-rs version, and a centralized Key Management System is introduced for validators. The new blockchain stack, compatible with Solidity ^0.8.20, includes go-ethereum v1.13.5 and ethermint, and offers a simulation mode for faster development. Gas prices have been updated to reflect performance improvements, resulting in reduced costs for certain operations. The test suite's efficiency is significantly improved in mocked mode, reducing the time from 21 minutes to 4 seconds, thereby enhancing security practices through better test coverage.
