# EVM contracts

Aside from native contracts, AppLayer can also execute Solidity contracts as-is by the use of the AppLayer EVM, which is compatible with bytecode deployment. This means any language that compiles to EVM bytecode (e.g. [Solidity](https://soliditylang.org/), [Vyper](https://docs.vyperlang.org/en/stable/), etc.) can be used to deploy contracts in the AppLayer EVM in a seamless, straight-forward way.

This kind of compatibility is possible thanks to the integration of the [EVMOne](https://github.com/ethereum/evmone) virtual machine (originally made by the Ethereum devs) and [EVMC](https://github.com/ethereum/evmc) libraries.
