The EVM defines 134 opcodes (as of the Byzantium hard fork). Of these 134 opcodes, some are generic machine instructions (ADD, MUL, ISZERO, XOR, etc.) and the rest are Ethereum-specific opcodes (SLOAD, SSTORE, CALLVALUE, BLOCKHASH, etc.). + +When EVM bytecode is translated into ewasm bytecode, the Ethereum-specific opcodes translate to ewasm interface methods (Ethereum Environment Interface (EEI) methods). These interface methods are provided as "host functions" to the wasm VM. All other EVM opcodes are not Ethereum-specific and do not access data from the Ethereum environment, so they can be translated to plain wasm instructions. + +To reference EVM opcodes, try the [yellow paper](https://ethereum.github.io/yellowpaper/paper.pdf), the [readable yellow paper](https://github.com/chronaeon/beigepaper/blob/master/beigepaper.pdf), or the [pyethereum implementation](https://github.com/ethereum/pyethereum/blob/develop/ethereum/opcodes.py). + +To reference ewasm interface methods, see the [EEI spec](https://github.com/ewasm/design/blob/master/eth_interface.md). + + +### EVM opcodes that translate to ewasm methods (Ethereum Environment Interface (EEI) methods) + +EVM opcode | ewasm interface method +----------------------|----------------------------- +0x30: ADDRESS | getAddress +0x31: BALANCE | getBalance +0x32: ORIGIN | getTxOrigin +0x33: CALLER | getCaller +0x34: CALLVALUE | getCallValue +0x35: CALLDATALOAD | callDataCopy(resultOffset, dataOffset, 32) +0x36: CALLDATASIZE | getCallDataSize +0x37: CALLDATACOPY | callDataCopy(resultOffset, dataOffset, size) +0x38: CODESIZE | getCodeSize +0x39: CODECOPY | codeCopy +0x3a: GASPRICE | getTxGasPrice +0x3b: EXTCODESIZE | getExternalCodeSize +0x3c: EXTCODECOPY | externalCodeCopy +0x3d: RETURNDATASIZ | getReturnDataSize +0x3e: RETURNDATACOP | returnDataCopy +0x40: BLOCKHASH | getBlockHash +0x41: COINBASE | getBlockCoinbase +0x42: TIMESTAMP | getBlockTimestamp +0x43: NUMBER | getBlockNumber +0x44: DIFFICULTY | getBlockDifficulty +0x45: GASLIMIT | getBlockGasLimit +0x54: SLOAD | storageLoad +0x55: SSTORE | storageStore +0x58: PC | - +0x5a: GAS | getGasLeft +0xa0: LOG0 | log(0,..) +... | +0xa4: LOG4 | log(4,..) +0xf0: CREATE | create +0xf1: CALL | call +0xf2: CALLCODE | callCode +0xf3: RETURN | return +0xf4: DELEGATECALL | callDelegate +0xfa: STATICCALL | callStatic +0xfd: REVERT | revert +0xff: SELFDESTRUCT | selfDestruct + + + +## EVM opcodes vs WebAssembly instructions + +Whereas EVM is an untyped VM with a 256-bit word size, WebAssembly is a typed VM with 32-bit and 64-bit word sizes.
