    EOS EVM v0.6.0

    New Features

    • Trustless Bridge Support for ERC20 Tokens – New smart contracts deployed on both EOS EVM and EOS Native to support two way token bridging of altcoins.
    • USDT (EOS Native) Added to Trustless Bridge – Users can deposit and withdraw USDT (EOS) to and from their EOS Native Accounts and Centralized Exchange Accounts to their EOS EVM Address. 
    • Cross Virtual Machine (VM) Communication – Smart contracts on EOS EVM and EOS Native can now call smart contracts on the opposite virtual machine, enabling new use cases that extend the functionality of EOS EVM that leverage the strengths of both Ethereum and EOS virtual machines.

    Official USDT Support

    This release marks a key milestone in the EOS ecosystem’s journey, as seamless interaction between EOS Native and EOS EVM is enabled.

    EOS EVM v0.6.0 enhances the trustless bridge’s functionalities while keeping the platform fully EVM-compatible. Previously, only EOS could traverse the trustless bridge, however the upgrade to EOS EVM 0.6.0 will widen the horizon to the EOS Native version of USDT, which will be represented by an ERC-20 Token on the EOS EVM.

    This new feature allows for users on EOS EVM access to USDT (EOS) without relying on any trust assumptions or 3rd party bridges.

    Token Contract Addresses

    Token Contract Address on EOS EVM: 0x33b57dc70014fd7aa6e1ed3080eed2b619632b8e

    Token Contract Address on EOS Native: tethertether

    How To

    Transfer USDT to EOS EVM from an EOS Native Account

    Depositing USDT to the EOS EVM can be done by initiating a token transfer for USDT (tethertether) to the ‘eosio.evmin’ EOS account with the receiving EVM public key in the memo field.

    Transfer USDT (EOS) to EOS EVM from Centralized Exchanges

    USDT can now be deposited and withdrawn to and from any centralized exchange that supports Tether for EOS Native. These exchanges include Binance, Bitfinex, Kucoin, MEXC, and GateIO.

    Transfer USDT (EOS) from EOS EVM to EOS Native

    USDT (EOS) can now be withdrawn from EOS EVM to EOS Native using the trustless bridge frontend.

    EOS Network

    The EOS Network is a 3rd generation blockchain platform powered by the EOS VM, a low-latency, highly performant, and extensible WebAssembly engine for deterministic execution of near feeless transactions; purpose-built for enabling optimal Web3 user and developer experiences. EOS is the flagship blockchain and financial center of the Antelope framework, serving as the driving force behind multi-chain collaboration and public goods funding for tools and infrastructure through the EOS Network Foundation (ENF).

    EOS EVM

    The EOS EVM is an emulation of the Ethereum EVM, housed within an EOS smart contract. It offers feature parity to other EVMs in the space but with unmatched speed, performance and compatibility. EOS EVM connects the EOS ecosystem to the Ethereum ecosystem by allowing developers to deploy a wide array of Solidity-based digital assets and innovative dApps on EOS. Developers can use EOS EVM to take advantage of Ethereum’s battle-tested open source code, tooling, libraries and SDKs, while leveraging the superior performance of EOS.
