Understanding EVM and How It Works

The Ethereum Virtual Machine

The EVM is a decentralized computer that executes smart contracts across thousands of nodes.

How EVM Works

  • Stack-based architecture
  • 256-bit word size
  • Gas metering for computation
  • Deterministic execution

Pro Tip

Always test your smart contracts on testnets before deploying to mainnet. Use tools like Hardhat and Foundry for comprehensive testing.
