# Compatibility & Performance ### EVM compatibility Load Network EVM is built on top of Reth, making it compatible as a network with existing EVM-based applications. This means you can run your current Ethereum-based projects on LN without significant modifications, leveraging the full potential of the EVM ecosystem. Load Network EVM doesn't introduce new opcodes or breaking changes to the EVM itself, but it uses ExExes and adds custom precompiles: #### Alphanet V0.5.3 * **gas per non-zero byte:** 8 * **gas limit:** 500\_000\_000 * **block time:** 1s * **gas/s:** 500 mg/s * **data throughput:** \~62 MBps --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
