The power of Cairo has enabled us to build an EVM with only about 10,000 lines of code. This allows Kakarot to adapt more quickly to Ethereum and Cairo updates and new features. said the startup.

Its roadmap includes 3 major phases. The first is to bring EVM to Starknet. The second is to combine Kakarot with the Starknet Madara sequencer to create a layer 3 zkEVM. Finally, phase 3 will be dedicated to the activation of a type 1 zkEVM.

Last summer, Kakarot EVM raised funds from Starkware and Vitalik Buterin.
