What is Algorand x EVM?

Algorand x EVM lets you use your existing Ethereum wallet to control an Algorand account. No new wallet, no new seed phrase, no new app to install.

Algorand x EVM derives an Algorand address from your EVM address and uses an on-chain Smart Account to verify your EVM signatures.

One wallet - your EVM wallet works on both Ethereum and Algorand
One identity - your EVM address maps to exactly one Algorand address
Full self-custody - only your wallet signature can authorize Algorand x EVM transactions

How It Works (High Level)

Your EVM address (20 bytes) is used to deterministically generate an Algorand Smart Signature Account
When you want to transact on Algorand, the app builds the transaction and asks your wallet to sign an EIP-712 typed data message
The signature is attached to the Smart Account, which verifies the ECDSA signature on-chain using Algorand's ecdsa_pk_recover opcode
If valid, the transaction executes on Algorand

Your private key never leaves your wallet. The Smart Account only checks that the signature matches the expected EVM address - it cannot move funds on its own.
