EVM
The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is the runtime environment for smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. It executes bytecode and ensures that programs run consistently across all nodes in the network, enabling decentralized application logic.
Example
“EVM-compatible blockchains like Polygon and Avalanche allow developers to deploy their existing Ethereum smart contracts with minimal changes, making it easy to expand across multiple chains.”
