Description

There are at least 3 projects that might be useful to our implementation of the content directory (and future EVM-related modules). Find out their exact purposes and select the most fitting technologies for our needs with reasoning about it.

EVM
https://github.com/paritytech/frontier/tree/master/frame/evm
Core EVM implementation facilitating bridge between Substrate and Ethereum style smart contracts.

Frontier
Frontier builds on top of EVM and adds Ethereum-compatible RPC interface and possibly some other important features.
https://github.com/paritytech/frontier

Moonbeam
https://moonbeam.network/
This seems like a rather robust layer on top of EVM focusing on Substrate-based chains interoperability that adds many features we might not necessarily need but definitely might be useful as a reference implementation for some parts.

Are Frontier and Moonbeam supplementing each other, or are they in conflict, each aiming at something else? Do we even need a Frontier/Moonbeam, or a bare EVM integration with some small enhancements is enough?
