# Ethereum VM Anchors

Ethereum VM (EVM) based Asset Movement Anchors enable transfers between Keeta and EVM-compatible blockchain networks like Ethereum, Base etc.

### **What's Unique About EVM Anchors**

EVM Anchors have special characteristics:

1. **Smart Contract Integration**: Uses smart contracts for secure custody and forwarding
2. **Multi-Chain Support**: Works across all EVM-compatible chains using the same interface
3. **Gas Management**: Handles gas fees transparently
4. **ERC-20 Tokens**: Supports any ERC-20 token with contract address
5. **Native Asset Support**: Can handle ETH, USDC, EURC, etc.

#### **EVM-Specific Rails**

* **EVM\_SEND**: Standard token transfers (like sending ETH or ERC-20)
* **EVM\_CALL**: Smart contract calls for more complex operations

#### **Example: Moving USDC from Keeta to Base**

#### **Example: Moving USDC from Base to Keeta using Persistent Addresses**
