# Introducing Telos EVM

<figure><img src="/files/XCHFxfIniV4cRQdggoLk" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Telos provides cutting-edge solutions to address the drawbacks developers and users face with other Layer 1 blockchains, such as lagging performance (high latency times & network congestion), limited scalability, and energy consumption. The Telos EVM also implements a fixed gas fee on all transactions, rendering it impossible for whales or any other user to front run their transaction in a mempool.

* **Architecture:** Telos EVM is a Smart Contract built on the native Antelope.io layer. The EVM RPC plays a critical role by translating the native APIs to the standard EVM RPC methods, so all EVM tools and wallets are compatible.
* **Solidity & Vyper:** Telos EVM processes the same code as Ethereum's and other EVMs. No modifications are needed.
* **RPC Specification:** Every Telos client implements a JSON-RPC specification identical to Ethereum's, making it easy to read blockchain data and send transactions to the network.
* **Convenience Libraries:** Telos supports the same libraries for JSON-RPC API, such as ethers.js & web3.js.
* **Custom indexing COMING SOON**: A public API that will offer improved data over the standard RPC, such as token holder lists, NFTs, approvals, and more.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.reactorfusion.xyz/getting-ready/introducing-telos-evm.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
