Voltaire provides powerful bytecode analysis and EVM execution capabilities not found in other TypeScript Ethereum libraries.

​
Bytecode Analysis

Parse and analyze EVM bytecode without executing it. Extract ABIs from unverified contracts, detect patterns, and debug at the opcode level.

​
Extract ABI from Bytecode

Recover function selectors and events from any deployed contract—even without source code: 
import { Bytecode } from '@tevm/voltaire'

// Fetch bytecode from any contract (verified or not)
const bytecode = Bytecode('0x608060405234801561001057600080fd5b50...')

// Extract ABI from bytecode patterns
const abi = Bytecode.toAbi(bytecode)

console.log(abi)
// [
//   { type: "function", selector: "0xa9059cbb", stateMutability: "nonpayable", payable: false },
//   { type: "function", selector: "0x70a08231", stateMutability: "view", payable: false },
//   { type: "event", hash: "0xddf252ad1be2c89b69c2b068fc378daa952ba7f163c4a11628f55a4df523b3ef" }
// ]

​
Parse Instructions

Disassemble bytecode into individual opcodes: 
const instructions = Bytecode.parseInstructions(bytecode)

for (const inst of instructions) {
  console.log(`${inst.pc}: ${inst.opcode} ${inst.pushData ?? ''}`)
}
// 0: PUSH1 0x80
// 2: PUSH1 0x40
// 4: MSTORE
// 5: CALLVALUE
// 6: DUP1
// ...

​
Pretty Print

Human-readable bytecode disassembly: 
console.log(Bytecode.prettyPrint(bytecode))
// 0x0000: PUSH1 0x80
// 0x0002: PUSH1 0x40
// 0x0004: MSTORE
// 0x0005: CALLVALUE
// ...

​
Analyze Jump Destinations

Find all valid jump targets for control flow analysis: 
const jumpDests = Bytecode.analyzeJumpDestinations(bytecode)
console.log('Valid JUMPDEST locations:', [...jumpDests])
// [16, 42, 128, 256, ...]

// Check specific location
const isValid = Bytecode.isValidJumpDest(bytecode, 0x10)

​
Gas Analysis

Estimate gas costs per instruction: 
const gasAnalysis = Bytecode.analyzeGas(bytecode)
console.log('Total static gas:', gasAnalysis.totalGas)
console.log('Instructions:', gasAnalysis.instructions.length)

​
Stack Analysis

Analyze stack depth and effects: 
const stackAnalysis = Bytecode.analyzeStack(bytecode)
console.log('Max stack depth:', stackAnalysis.maxDepth)

​
Strip Metadata

Remove Solidity compiler metadata for cleaner analysis: 
if (Bytecode.hasMetadata(bytecode)) {
  const stripped = Bytecode.stripMetadata(bytecode)
  console.log('Removed', bytecode.length - stripped.length, 'metadata bytes')
}

​
Hash Bytecode

Compute keccak256 hash (useful for CREATE2 address prediction): 
const codeHash = Bytecode.hash(bytecode)
console.log('Code hash:', codeHash)

​
EVM Execution

Execute bytecode directly in TypeScript. Build execution frames, manipulate the stack, and run opcodes.

​
Create Execution Frames

import { Frame } from '@tevm/voltaire/evm'

// Create a frame with bytecode that pushes 1 + 2
const frame = Frame({
  bytecode: new Uint8Array([
    0x60, 0x01,  // PUSH1 1
    0x60, 0x02,  // PUSH1 2
    0x01,        // ADD
  ]),
  gas: 100000n,
})

console.log(frame.pc)           // 0
console.log(frame.gasRemaining) // 100000n
console.log(frame.stack)        // []

​
Execute Opcodes

Run individual opcodes with full gas accounting: 
import { Frame, Arithmetic } from '@tevm/voltaire/evm'

const frame = Frame({
  bytecode: new Uint8Array([0x60, 0x01, 0x60, 0x02, 0x01]),
  gas: 100000n,
})

// Push values onto stack
Frame.pushStack(frame, 1n)
Frame.pushStack(frame, 2n)

// Execute ADD
const error = Arithmetic.add(frame)

console.log(frame.stack) // [3n]
console.log(error)       // null (success)

​
Stack Operations

Direct stack manipulation: 
// Push values
Frame.pushStack(frame, 42n)
Frame.pushStack(frame, 100n)

// Pop and peek
const top = Frame.popStack(frame)     // 100n
const next = Frame.peekStack(frame)   // 42n (doesn't remove)

​
Memory Operations

Read and write EVM memory: 
// Write 32 bytes to memory offset 0
const data = new Uint8Array(32).fill(0xff)
Frame.writeMemory(frame, 0, data)

// Read 32 bytes from offset 0
const result = Frame.readMemory(frame, 0, 32)

// Calculate memory expansion cost
const cost = Frame.memoryExpansionCost(frame, 64)

​
Gas Accounting

Track gas consumption: 
const frame = Frame({ gas: 1000n })

// Consume gas (returns error if insufficient)
const error = Frame.consumeGas(frame, 21n)

console.log(frame.gasRemaining) // 979n
console.log(error)              // null (success)

// Attempt to consume more than available
const outOfGas = Frame.consumeGas(frame, 2000n)
console.log(outOfGas) // { type: "OutOfGas" }
