1. By now you may be thinking - isn't this virtual machine concept similar to Ethereum's EVM? Perceptive observation! #SVM and EVMs serve comparable purposes, but there are some key distinctions.

2. The major one? Parallel processing capabilities. #EVM employs a sequential design that can only process one transaction at a time. But as discussed earlier, SVM leverages Sealevel to enable simultaneous execution.

3. This means #Solana can deliver vastly higher transaction volumes without getting congested. We're talking thousands of transactions per second!
