What is EVM?

An Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a decentralized computing environment that runs smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. It executes bytecode instructions, acting as a runtime environment for Ethereum smart contracts. When a transaction is initiated on the Ethereum network that involves a smart contract, the EVM processes the contract's code and executes the required operations. This execution occurs across all nodes on the Ethereum network, ensuring consensus and immutability. The EVM allows for trustless and deterministic execution of smart contracts, enabling various decentralized applications (DApps) to run securely on the Ethereum blockchain. $ETH #evm
