Crate primitives 

revm-primitives

Core primitive types and constants for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) implementation.

This crate provides:

• EVM constants and limits (gas, stack, code size)
• Ethereum hard fork management and version control
• EIP-specific constants and configuration values
• Cross-platform synchronization primitives
• Type aliases for common EVM concepts (storage keys/values)
• Re-exports of alloy primitive types for convenience

Macros

address

Converts a sequence of string literals containing hex-encoded data into a new Address at compile time.

b256

Converts a sequence of string literals containing hex-encoded data into a new B256 at compile time.

bytes

Converts a sequence of string literals containing hex-encoded data into a new Bytes at compile time.

fixed_bytes

Converts a sequence of string literals containing hex-encoded data into a new FixedBytes at compile time.

hex

Macro for converting sequence of string literals containing hex-encoded data into an array of bytes.

Structs

Address

An Ethereum address, 20 bytes in length.

Bytes

Wrapper type around [bytes::Bytes] to support “0x” prefixed hex strings.

FixedBytes

A byte array of fixed length ([u8; N]).

Log

A log consists of an address, and some log data.

LogData

An Ethereum event log object.

OnceLock

A synchronization primitive which can nominally be written to only once.

Enums

TxKind

The to field of a transaction. Either a target address, or empty for a contract creation.

Constants

BLOCK_HASH_HISTORY

Number of block hashes that EVM can access in the past (pre-Prague)

CALL_STACK_LIMIT

EVM call stack limit

KECCAK_EMPTY

The Keccak-256 hash of the empty string "".

PRECOMPILE3

The address of precompile 3, which is handled specially in a few places

SHORT_ADDRESS_CAP

Optimize short address access.

STACK_LIMIT

EVM interpreter stack limit

Functions

keccak256

Simple interface to the Keccak-256 hash function.

short_address

Returns the short address from Address.

Type Aliases

B256

32-byte fixed byte-array type.

HashMap

A HashMap using the default hasher.

HashSet

A HashSet using the default hasher.

I128

128-bit signed integer type, consisting of 2, 64-bit limbs.

I256

256-bit signed integer type, consisting of 4, 64-bit limbs.

StorageKey

Type alias for EVM storage keys (256-bit unsigned integers). Used to identify storage slots within smart contract storage.

StorageValue

Type alias for EVM storage values (256-bit unsigned integers). Used to store data values in smart contract storage slots.

U128

128-bit unsigned integer type, consisting of 2, 64-bit limbs.

U256

256-bit unsigned integer type, consisting of 4, 64-bit limbs.
