Ethereum VM (EVM) Opcodes and Instruction Reference

This reference consolidates EVM opcode information from the yellow paper, stack exchange, solidity source, parity source, evm-opcode-gas-costs and Manticore.

New issues and contributions are welcome, and are covered by bounties from Trail of Bits. Join us in #ethereum on the Empire Hacking Slack to discuss Ethereum security tool development.

Notes

The size of a "word" in EVM is 256 bits.

The gas information is a work in progress. If an asterisk is in the Gas column, the base cost is shown but may vary based on the opcode arguments.

Instruction Details

ADD

Takes two words from stack, adds them, then pushes the result onto the stack.

Pseudocode: push(s[0]+s[1])

PUSHX

The following X bytes are read from PC, placed into a word, then this word is pushed onto the stack.

CALL
