The protocol currently processes separate transaction hashes for the two blockchain ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p>This discrepancy prevents Cosmos transactions from being indexed by EVM-based wallets, which, in turn, hinders user experience.<\/p>\n<p>After switching to the Ethereum Virtual Machine, Evmos will require a smaller infrastructure footprint. This will free up resources to improve user experience and functional interoperability.<\/p>\n<p>Evmos will continue to support core Cosmos features such as <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-is-staking-and-how-to-make-money-from-it\">staking<\/a> and token transfers via EVM extensions.<\/p>\n<p>Users with Cosmos wallets will need to switch to Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible clients.
