Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM): The Backbone of Smart Contract Ecosystem

Thu 18th Apr 2024
The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a decentralized execution engine for decentralized applications (Dapps) and smart contracts. It functions as a Turing-complete virtual computing engine, executing bytecode from transactions that modify the network's state. Smart contracts on EVM can call other contracts, with each new call loading another EVM instance. BNB Chain is enhancing the EVM with parallel EVM solutions aimed at improving infrastructure, performance, and production through transaction scheduling and state merging to optimize resource usage. The potential of parallel EVM includes enhanced scalability by processing transactions simultaneously across multiple EVM instances and optimizing parallelism with advanced scheduling and dependency management techniques.
