Hey @eesheng, you can get the brief overview of FuelVm vs EVM from [this](https://x.com/immunefi/status/1798343931274449314) thread. From this thread, you will also get more info about the Fuel ecosystem as well

You can transpile your Sway contract into solidity using the [transpiler](https://github.com/ourovoros-io/charcoal) but don’t think you can make the fuel dapp EVM compatible.
