Avalanche is a network composed of multiple blockchains. Each blockchain is an instance of a Virtual Machine (VM), much like an object in an object-oriented language is an instance of a class. That is, the VM defines the behavior of the blockchain.
Subnet EVM is the Virtual Machine (VM) that defines the Subnet Contract Chains. Subnet EVM is a simplified version of Coreth VM (C-Chain).
This chain implements the Ethereum Virtual Machine and supports Solidity smart contracts as well as most other Ethereum client functionality.
The Subnet EVM runs in a separate process from the main AvalancheGo process and communicates with it over a local gRPC connection.
[v0.1.0] AvalancheGo@v1.7.0-v1.7.4
[v0.1.1-v0.1.2] AvalancheGo@v1.7.5-v1.7.6
The Subnet EVM supports the following API namespaces:
ethpersonaltxpooldebug
Only the eth namespace is enabled by default.
Full documentation for the C-Chain's API can be found here.
The Subnet EVM is compatible with almost all Ethereum tooling, including Remix, Metamask and Truffle.
- Added configurable fees and gas limits in genesis
- Merged Avalanche hardforks into the single "Subnet EVM" hardfork
- Removed Atomic Txs and Shared Memory
- Removed Multicoin Contract and State
By default, all fees are burned (sent to the blackhole address). However, it is possible to enable block producers to set a fee recipient (get compensated for blocks they produce).
To enable this feature, you'll need to add the following to your
genesis file (under the "config" key):
{
"config": {
"allowFeeRecipients":true
}
}Next, you'll need to update your chain config with the following:
{
"feeRecipient":"<YOU 0x-ADDRESS>"
}Note: If you enable this feature but a validator doesn't specify a "feeRecipient", the fees will be burned in blocks they produce.
If you'd like to restrict who has the ability to deploy contracts on your
subnet, you can provide an AllowList configuration in your genesis file:

}In this example, 0x8db97C7cEcE249c2b98bDC0226Cc4C2A57BF52FC is named as the
Admin of the ContractDeployerAllowList. This enables them to add other Admins or to add
Deployers. Both Admins and Deployers can deploy contracts. To provide
a great UX with factory contracts, the tx.Origin is checked for being a valid
deployer instead of the caller of CREATE. This means that factory contracts will still be
able to create new contracts as long as the sender of the original transaction is an allow
listed deployer.
The Stateful Precompile powering the ContractDeployerAllowList adheres to the following
Solidity interface at 0x0200000000000000000000000000000000000000 (you can
load this interface and interact directly in Remix):

tutorial and you can get your own EVM on your own subnet
spun up on Fuji in a jiffy!
You can find an example of a genesis file to use when launching your own
subnet-evm in the networks folder.
- 1+ nodes running on Fuji (does not need to be a validator)
subnet-cliinstalledsubnet-cliprivate key with some Fuji AVAX (see faucet)
First, you'll need to compile the subnet-evm into a binary that AvalancheGo
can interact with. To do this, run the following commands (assumes you don't
yet have the subnet-evm repository downloaded):
git clone https://github.com/ava-labs/subnet-evm.git;
cd subnet-evm;
./scripts/build.sh build/srEXiWaHuhNyGwPUi444Tu47ZEDwxTWrbQiuD7FmgSAQ6X7Dy;Once the subnet-evm binary is built, you'll need to move it to AvalancheGo's
plugin directory (within the --build-dir) so it can be run by your node.
When building from source, this defaults to ~/avalanchego/build/plugins.
This build directory is structured as:
build-dir
|_avalanchego
|_plugins
|_evm
To put the subnet-evm binary in the right place, run the following command
(assuming the avalanchego and subnet-evm repos are in the same folder):
mv ./subnet-evm/build/srEXiWaHuhNyGwPUi444Tu47ZEDwxTWrbQiuD7FmgSAQ6X7Dy ./avalanchego/build/plugins;The easiest and fastest way to get your new subnet off the ground is to use the
subnet-cli. This powerful CLI can
add validators, create subnets, and create blockchains.
The subnet-cli DOES NOT need to be run on the same host where you are
running your validator. By default, it interfaces exclusively with the public
Avalanche API Endpoints.
To make it as easy as possible to get started, the subnet-cli also provides
a wizard command that takes care of EVERYTHING for you. TL;DR, type one
command and you'll have a subnet with a running subnet-evm instance 5 minutes
later.
To make NodeID-XXXX a validator, create a subnet, add NodeID-XXXX to the
subnet (comma separated with multiple validators), and create a subnet-evm-based blockhain, run the following command:
subnet-cli wizard \
--node-ids=NodeID-XXXX \
--vm-genesis-path=networks/11111/genesis.json \
--vm-id=srEXiWaHuhNyGwPUi444Tu47ZEDwxTWrbQiuD7FmgSAQ6X7Dy \
--chain-name=subnetevmThe vm-id was generated by calling subnet-cli create VMID subnetevm. You can
use any value here, the only important thing is to make sure the binary you
generate has the same name.
During the execution of the wizard command, you will be prompted to add your
new subnetID to your node. This is done using the whitelisted-subnets config.
You can provide the whitelisted-subnets argument by modifying your config
file or providing an argument on startup.
Example Config File:
{
"network-id":"fuji",
"health-check-frequency":"2s",
"log-display-level":"INFO",
"log-level":"INFO",
"whitelisted-subnets":"<PROVIDED BY SPACES-CLI>"
}Example Node Args:
--whitelisted-subnets=<PROVIDED BY SPACES CLI> --network-id=fujiOnce you've updated your config, you'll need to restart your AvalancheGo node for the changes to take effect.
If you completed the steps successfully, you'll see the node print out:

The WAGMI ("We're All Going to Make It") Subnet Demo is a high throughput
testbed for EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) optimizations. It is parameterized
to run at a factor more capacity than Fuji/Mainnet C-Chain and will be used
to experiment with release candidates before they make it into an
official coreth release.
We created a basic WAGMI explorer that surfaces aggregated usage statistics about the subnet. If you'd like to see any other stats added to this site, please send a DM to @_patrickogrady on Twitter.
Everyone that has used the the C-Chain more than twice (~970k addresses) has been airdropped 10 WGM tokens. With the current fee parameterization, this should be enough for hundreds of txs.
This is one of the first cases of using Avalanche Subnets as a proving ground for changes in a production VM (coreth). Many underestimate how useful the isolation of subnets is for performing complex VM testing on a live network (without impacting the stability of the primary network).
To create WAGMI, all we had to do was run the following command:
subnet-cli wizard \
--node-ids=NodeID-9TCq8np31pHjjhGaHtLjs6ptYYPEt3LGb,NodeID-BrYXghQSu6KKGjuzhs3nrkcB46Wc2yYHy,NodeID-89UCR1CsPzzEHuknxhJHKxuFPNCyPz7Bu,NodeID-Hfm8gpD4DpCz4KTzt2osJPfFvu7az3qiD,NodeID-LkdxkfYhg6nSw1EEUxDUSYPXPwmr2cUet \
--vm-genesis-path=networks/11111/genesis.json \
--vm-id=srEXiWaHuhNyGwPUi444Tu47ZEDwxTWrbQiuD7FmgSAQ6X7Dy \
--chain-name=wagmiThis added these NodeIDs as validators on Fuji, created the WAGMI Subnet, added all validators to the WAGMI subnet, and created the WAGMI chain.
