  1. EVM allows for the function of smart contracts and it runs on the hardware of each node in the Ethereum network. It reads the smart contract then tells the CPU what to do. Acts as a buffer between the network and the CPU so that a smart contract with malicious intent does not compromise the security of your system.
  2. ByteCode
  3. Developers write code in solidity which is then compiled into Bytecode and read by the EVM.
  4. Bitcoin is unable to run smart contracts like Ethereum due to its limitations with the script language that it uses which is Not Turing Complete meaning that its functions are limited.
  5. A Turing Complete programming language means that the programming language can do pretty much anything you tell it to.

  1. EVM uses proof of work on the Ethereum network. EVM can run and execute both smart contracts and CPU’s. It interprets the smart contracts across various CPU’s running the nodes and miners. If all the EVM’s on the node reach consensus then it is executed.
  2. Bytecode is a price of code that EVM activates by its exact description.
  3. Solidity is compiled into EVM bytecode, which is then running on ETH nodes to execute.
  4. Bitcoin is not turning code complete like Ethereum. Its script can’t solve all the programs that it might have to solve. It is much more limited than Ethereum
  5. Turing complete programming language has loops to do 1 thing several times. You cannot do smart contracts without these loops

    It is the Ethereum Virtual Machine that reads the byte code that has been compiled by the Solidity programming application.
    It runs on all nodes and executes the smart contract and gives instructions to the CPU.
  2. Byte code.
  3. Solidity is a programming application that compiles the logic and instructions down to byte code before giving it to the EVM.
  4. BTC can’t run the same type of complex programs like Eth can due to it being primitive, basic, limited as it is not Turing Complete.
    Solidity is a Turing Complete programming language.
  5. A Turing complete programming language is a programming language with wider functions allowing the programmer to create or do anything they want and also includes loops which allows the programmer to program the software to carry out an instruction many, multiple times.

  2. EVM reads byte code.
  3. Solidity allows us to program smart contract on the Ethereum network, which is the compiled to Bytecode so that the EVM can excecute that code.
    4.Because Bitcoins programming language is Script, which is very limited compared to Solidity, meanin it is not Turing Complete(it is for creating cryptocurrency and handling transactions).
  4. A turing complete language is such a language in which You can tehcnically programy anything that You think of, meaning the language is not limited to just a few functions, as Bitcoins Script is.

  1. What does the EVM do?

EVM means Ethereum Virtual Machine. It will execute code on the Ethereum Blockchain.

  1. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?

The EVM reads byte code.

  1. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?

Solidity needs a compiler to compile it’s code to bytecode which then can be read and executed by the EVM. Solidities language is somehow similar to JavaScript and reads almost like English when you look at it. Bytecode is the type of data that a processor is able to execute.

  1. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?

Because Bitcoins programming language Script is not Turing complete, means it does not have all mathematical functions and possibilities like a Turing complete programming language like Java or Solidity.

  1. What is a Turing Complete programming language?

Turing complete is derived from Alan Turings Turing Machine. A programming language is Turing complete when you can solve any mathematical function with it and f.e. make use of loops. Theoretically, a developer is able to program anything he or she can put into mathematically valid code.

  1. What does the EVM do?

EVM is the Ethereum Virtual Machine and it reads and executes code that is within smart contracts. EVM ensures that nothing malicious happens to your CPU and it ensures consensus and security within the network.

  1. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?

The format of instructions that EVM can read is called bytecode and is written with the Solidity programming language.

  1. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?

Programmers can use a special application called compiler with Solidity. The compiler will take the instructions in the smart contract and compile them down to Bytecode. The EVM can now read the Bytecode.

  1. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?

Scripting language in Bitcoin is not Turing complete so it cannot run the same complex programs like Ethereum. Ethereum is Turing complete and can run loops for example.

  1. What is a Turing Complete programming language?

A Turing Complete programming language can solve all problems that it might have to solve. If a programming language is not Turing complete then it is more limited and cannot solve all problems. A Turing Complete language can execute loops which can tell a computer to do one thing multiple times.

EVM or Ethereum Virtual Machine works in conjunction with yet separate from a CPU in order to perform proof of work.

The format of instructions that the EVM can read is a program Solidarity

The relationship between Solidarity and Bytecode is to make readable content in to numeric content the EVM can use.

Bitcoin can’t not run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum because it is for the most part unprogrammable and can not execute code.

A Turing Complete programming language such as Ethereum is able to execute programmable code.
