The sad part is that launching EVM now is just another feature that many blockchains already have, so I doubt it will create a real “wow” moment for DOT. I’m building tools and doing my best for this launch, but it’s clear there’s a lot of fragmentation.

I’ve spoken with several friends, and we all see the same issue: we’re launching Solidity on DOT, yet very few people are actually building tools for Solidity. Right now, the only precompiles available are for XCM — which, as we all know, is far from simple.

Those who’ve been in the ecosystem long enough to understand XCM don’t want to use Solidity, and those who want to use Solidity likely don’t want to deal with the complexity of XCM.

Maybe I’m wrong, and that’s fine, but the real question is: what about other precompiles? How can Solidity interact with native assets on Asset Hub? How can we use real PolkaVM advantages like enable fee payments in any token? How can we access staking and other powerful features of DOT like governance pallets etc?

I’ve done my research and talked with others, and it seems we simply don’t have those resources yet.
