Research direction
Wait for a reth release using alloy-evm >= 0.28, then inspect the dependency updates and crates/ev-precompiles/src/mint.rs. Check crates/ev-revm/src/factory.rs and run the project’s compilation checks; done means reth and alloy-evm resolve to compatible versions without duplicate-type errors and the Precompile API change is addressed.

Description
Description
Dependabot opened a PR to bump alloy-evm from 0.27.2 to 0.28.0, but it cannot be merged because reth v1.11.1 internally depends on alloy-evm 0.27.3.
Having both versions in the dependency graph causes type mismatches — Rust treats alloy-evm 0.27::EthBlockExecutorFactory and alloy-evm 0.28::EthBlockExecutorFactory as completely different types, resulting in compilation errors in crates/ev-revm/src/factory.rs.
Required changes for alloy-evm 0.28
Precompiletrait breaking change:is_pure()was renamed tosupports_caching()(alloy-rs/evm#284). Requires a trivial fix incrates/ev-precompiles/src/mint.rs.- Version alignment:
alloy-evmmust match the version used by reth to avoid duplicate types in the dependency graph.
Action
- Close the dependabot PR for now
- Wait for a reth release that depends on
alloy-evm >= 0.28 - Then update reth and alloy-evm together
