# 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**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.keeta.com/anchors/anchor-types/asset-movement/ethereum-vm-anchors.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
