2. Solidity
3. Solidity is converted to Bytecode using the EVM.
4. Because the BTC language is not turning complete. it can execute simple smart contracts.

[Monarcha]

1. EVM reads smart contracts written in through solidity. It also acts as a barrier for security to the CPU.
2. Bytecode
3. Solidity is the programming language. it gives instructions to the compiler which then transforms these instructions to EVM readable bytecode.
4. Because BTC is written in a primitive programing language (script) that can execute little instructions.
5. Turing complete is a programming language where you can program anything. A key feature of that is the execution of loops.

1. What does the EVM do?

EVM stands for Ethereum Virtual Machine, it allows to execute code on the network of nodes to achieve consensus of what the results should be. EVM reads the byte code from Smart Contracts, extracting its instructions and in this process, it uses all computers resources i.e. its CPUs GPUs to send to the whole network of nodes the instructions and execution of SCs, once all nodes reach the same result than it is reached consensus in regards to what will happen to that specific contract.

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

EVM reads byte code.

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

Solidity is a Turing complete language however does not transforms its language into Byte code, for this to happen it is is required a compiler which transforms the solidity language into Byte code, ready for EVM to read all SCs instructions and execute them.

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

Bitcoin can not run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum because it has a different language called Script which it is not Turing complete.

5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?

A Turing complete language is one that given all enough resources will perform Loops, calculate everything assuming there is enough memory available, so everything can be implemented in a Turing environment, so we can describe the Ethereum Blockchain as a distributed Turing machine because with Solidity we can program anything.

[vinay_y]

1. EVM(Ethereum Virtual Machines)runs the smart contracts code and pass the instructions to the CPU of a computer
2. EVM can read the byte code which is compiled from Solidity/Viper languages
3. Solidity is human readable language and byte code is machine readable language
4. Because Bitcoin is not Turing Complete Language meaning there are no way to write the code in loops since the Bitcoin development language “Script” doesnt lave loops in it.
5. A language which has loops to run is called Turing complete language with which we can program any thing.

2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read? EVM Byte code

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

Solidity gets compiled to byte code and then sent to EVM for execution

[Dornfelder]

1. What does the EVM do?
   The EVM executes smart contracts by drawing on the computing power of the nodes in the network.

2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
   The EVM executes byte code compiled from code written in Solidity.

3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
   Byte code is the language which the EVM can read. Programmers write the code in Solidity (or another high level programming language), which is then compiled to byte code for the EVM to read and execute.

4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
   The Bitcoin blockchain has some programmability, using a language called ‘Script’. It is however not Turing complete. This is by design, so as to prevent network congestion as well as increase security.

5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
   I Turing Complete programming language can (at least in theory and given enough time and memory) be used to write programmes capable of performing any computational task (i.e. it can do anything that a Turing machine can).

[binklebonk]

1. What does the EVM do?
   The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) makes it possible to acheive consensus of transactions and smart contracts on the ethereum network.

2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
   The format of instructions is written in Solidity which is read by the EVM and compiled into byte code. Viper is another. next generation language that will be utilised in the future by the EVM

3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
   Solidity is similar toJava in its ease of programming however a compiler is used to convert this into Byte code which the EVM can both read and execute in consensus across the cpu’s hardware operating across the the network nodes.

4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
   Bitcoin uses script language which is not Turing complete and not good at handling looping programmes which may be necessary for many smart contracts and multisig wallets for instance.
   Etherium uses Solidity which is Turing complete and capable of repeating loops in its operations.

5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
   A Turing complete language is is one that given enough time and resources is able to compute anything computable. This gives enormous flexibility to Ethereum but may also be seen as a possible fault in tying up many resources and increasing the surface area to attack vectors. In a way it is gas / gas price that puts a damper on making infinite looping computations in restricting the rescoures of the EVM in terms of a Turing complete launguage.

[to_seeger]

1. What does the EVM do?
   Ethereum Virtual Machine is reading the instructions from the smart contract and forwards it to the CPU. It is important because it acts as a security layer between the smart contract and the CPU avoiding that the smart contract can directly give instruction to the CPU and tale over the entire Ethereum network.

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

3. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
   The smart contract is written in Solidity which is translated by a compiler program into Bytecode instructions. These instructions can be read by the EVM and forwarded to the CPU.

4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
   Because it is not Turing complete.

5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
   With a Turing complete language anything can be programmed because it has the possibility to use loops which are instructions to execute the same set of operations again and again. This is crucial for running more complex programs.

   Bytecode

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

   Because the programing language of Bitcoin is not Turing Complete

5. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
   A programming language is Turing complete if you can implement any possible algorithm with it

[Abdul_123]

1. EVM (or ethereum virtual machine) it reads the smart contracts of each node within the ethereum network in EVM bytecode and then executes the instructions of the smart contract step by step. In addition, it would then tell the CPU of each node in the ethereum network what it needs to do.

2. It is EVM bytecode

3. Ethereum smart contracts use the programming language of ethereum i.e. Solidity. Since ethereum needs EVM to execute the smart contracts within its network of computers, the Solidity language would have a compiler application which would compile such language down into bytecode so that it is readable for EVM to follow and execute the instruction of the smart contract of each node.

4. Because it is not turing complete since it’s programming language is script

5. Basically, ethereum language (Solidity) is turing complete as you can run any application on this network and write up any sort of program you want on it.
