This repository holds various protocol building blocks of the Ethereum blockchain execution layer and is managed by the Ethereum Foundation JavaScript team. There is a TypeScript implementation of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ready to be used in Node.js or a browser environment, implementations of core structural blockchain building blocks like an Ethereum Tx, Block or Blockchain as well as a Trie (Merkle Patricia Tree) and devp2p (execution networking layer) implementation. All libraries are bound together by the core Common library keeping track of chain specifics and hardfork changes. They are complemented by helper packages like RLP for data encoding/decoding or Util, providing helper functionalities like (byte) conversion, signatures, types and others. Finally, the EthereumJS Execution Client (EthereumJS) has been in active development for some time now. It already serves a variety of purposes like testing, research (e.g. EIPs) and developer tooling.
