How does Ethereum compatibility come into play on the C-Chain?

• A. The C-Chain runs a unique language and cannot run Solidity.
• B. Ethereum tools require bridges and not running on EVM.
• C. The C-Chain runs Solidity contracts via the EVM, enabling Ethereum tools and dApps to run with Avalanche security and finality benefits.
• D. C-Chain only supports native Avalanche contracts, not Solidity.

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that the C-Chain is Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible, so Solidity smart contracts run directly on Avalanche using the same development and deployment flow as Ethereum. This means you can write contracts in Solidity, compile and deploy them to the C-Chain, and interact with them using familiar Ethereum tools like MetaMask, Remix, Hardhat, or Truffle. Because it runs the EVM, you don’t need separate bridges just to execute Ethereum-style contracts; you can use the same tooling and workflows, while still benefiting from Avalanche’s fast finality and security. In short, Solidity contracts execute on the C-Chain, enabling Ethereum-compatible dApps to run with Avalanche’s performance characteristics.
