SupraEVM Beta Bounty
We're offering a 40,000 USDC bounty to any developer or team that can prove that they have a faster and provably correct parallel execution algorithm for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) than Supra’s BTM (Supra's conflict specification-aware Block Transactional Memory). The purpose of parallel execution is to handle large payloads with a lot of smart contract contention.
Key Rules:
The competing algorithm must be open-sourced and provably correct over at least 100,000 real Ethereum blocks.
All experiments must be conducted on commodity hardware (up to 16 cores) to maintain decentralization and practical reproducibility.
No cherry-picking of blocks or configurations is allowed; results must reflect the algorithm’s consistent performance across the entire dataset.
Identical thread configurations (4, 8, 16 and at most 256 fibers for Monad 2PE) must be used for all comparisons.
The final benchmark report must include TPS results per configuration and the overall average to identify the true winner.
If no competing algorithm outperforms SupraBTM under these conditions, the most comprehensive benchmarking report demonstrating this outcome will still be awarded 10,000 USDC.
500 USDC each will be granted to up to 10 participants who publish and share valid experimental results, regardless of outcome.
If a participant successfully outperforms SupraBTM under the above verified and reproducible conditions, they will receive the full 40,000 USDC bounty.
By the end of the campaign, if no one surpasses SupraBTM benchmarks, the best overall data report among valid submissions will receive 10,000 USDC.
The competition runs for one month (Ending Nov 21st), and payouts are made one month after verification. Let’s find out who has the fastest EVM parallel execution in the world!
System Setup Requirements
Hardware & Environment
Benchmarks were executed on a dedicated server machine:
Server: f4.metal.medium
CPU: AMD 4564P, 16 cores @ 4.5 GHz
RAM: 192 GB
Storage: 2 × 480 GB NVMe + 2 × 1.9 TB NVMe
Networking: 2 × 10 Gbps NICs
Execution Environment: both executors were run inside Docker to isolate dependencies and ensure reproducibility.
Executor Implementations
SupraBTM (iBTM): Implemented in Rust, built on REVM as the underlying EVM engine.
Monad 2PE: Implemented in C++, leveraging a native C++ EVM implementation. Monad has recently open-sourced this codebase.
Sequential Executor (Baseline): Our in-house sequential executor written in Rust, using the same REVM backend as iBTM.
Experiment Requirements
Participants must run experiments using the same thread configurations — specifically 4, 8, and 16 threads (at most 256 fibers for Monad 2PE) — and report the TPS (Transactions Per Second) for each configuration individually and overall.
The final report must clearly indicate the overall TPS and Execution Time in milliseconds and must show the 10% improvement over one another.
Cherry-picking blocks (i.e., selectively choosing blocks where one approach outperforms another) is not allowed. All experiments must be conducted over a continuous, representative range of real Ethereum blocks.
Experiments using single-threaded (1-thread) execution are not permitted.
All comparisons must be performed under the same configuration settings and on commodity hardware to ensure fairness and reproducibility.
