# Getting Started

Rome Protocol is an EVM execution environment running natively inside the Solana runtime. Deploy Solidity smart contracts on Solana with atomic CPI access to all Solana programs and liquidity.

## What Makes Rome Different

* **Single State** — EVM contracts and Solana programs share the same state. No bridging, no sync delays.
* **CPI Access** — Solidity contracts call Jupiter, Kamino, Drift, Meteora, and any Solana program directly.
* **Standard Tooling** — Deploy with Hardhat or Foundry. Interact with MetaMask. Write Solidity.
* **App Sovereignty** — Each app gets its own EVM chain with custom gas token and fee revenue.
