The virtual machine runs within each individual node and is a layer of abstraction between the smart contract’s code and the node’s processing unit. Its main purpose is to execute the bytecode of smart contracts in a sandbox environment.

Bytecode.
-
Smart contracts are written in the Solidity programming language and then compiled into Bytecode that the EVM can understand and run.
-
Because Bitcoin’s programming language, Script, is not Turing complete and is therefore very limited.
-
A Turing complete programming language can be used to solve any mathematical and computational problem, no matter how complex, as long as it has enough time and memory to do so.

What does the EVM do?
Interpret the Bytecode resulting from a compilation of a particular smart contract. It acts as a “security barrier” between the smart contract and the machine running it (a node in the Ethereum network). -
What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
Bytecode (a compiled smart contract). -
What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
Bytecode is the compilation result of a smart contract written in Solidity. -
Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
Because the programming language (called Script) that uses is not turing complete. It’s a very basic and limited programming language. -

The EVM is a program that governs the Ethereum network and runs on the hardware of each node. The EVM can also read and execute Smart Contracts.
-
The instructions are in EVM byte code format.
-
Solidity is the programming language in which smart contracts are written and later are compiled to EVM byte code so that the EVM can read it.
-
This is because the Bitcoin programming language ‘script’ is more limited than Solidity in the sense that it is not Turing complete.
-
A Turing complete programming language is capable in theory of resolving any data-manipulation rule set.

- EVM reads the smart contract/-s and gives instructions to CPU
- byte script/format
- can be run/executed on the virtual machine
- bitcoin is web 1.0, while ethereum is web 2.0 i.e. ethereum is programable turing complete language while bitcoin is not turing complete. only little programming could be done in bitcoin
- a computer or a programming language is said to be turing complete if it can implement a turing machine - it is a mathematical model of computation that can, in principle, perform any calculation that any other programmable computer can.

1 EVM is software that executes a smart contract code by reading the contracts byte code. It isolates the contract code from the computers CPU and is distributed to all nodes in the network.
2. Byte code
3. Solidity is the Ethereum programming language that write the smart contract and the a compiler changes these instructions into byte code that EVM can read.
4. BTC is not Turing Complete
5. Solidity/Viper
The evm is a program that runs on top of the ethereum network that all the nodes have, to execute smart contracts to the cpu.
All nodes have to agree and It then gives instructions to the cpu and the cpu then executes what it tells it.
Solidity is the programming language used to write the smart contracts which is recognised and automatically put into byte code so it can be read by the evm, before been executed.
Btc can’t run the same complex programs as it is only intended for digital transactions and nothing else so just uses a language called script which is basic but enough for its purpose.
A Turing complete programming language is one that you can use to program anything, solidity is Turing complete but script is not.

- EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) allows to execute code on the blockchain, enabling the creation of smart contracts f.e., in such a way that consensus can be reached throughout the network regarding how transactions should occur. It uses the individual CPU of each node, together with all others’, in the process of executing the code on the Blockchain, as the code can be executed from all the members of the network through the EVM. It is a sandbox environment which constitutes a security measure to prevent smart contracts from having the chance to act directly on nodes’ CPUs.
- It reads the Bytecode compiled version of the Solidity (or Viper) code.
- The relation between Bytecode and Solidity is that Solidity is the high-level programming language used by coders to design and program the smart contract, while Bytecode is the language used by the compiler to translate Solidity code into machine language.
- Bitcoin cannot run complex programs because its language (Script) is not Turing Complete, meaning that it would not be able to solve all the instructions that a complex program could give it. On the other hand, Solidity is Turing Complete, which is why it is possible to build smart contracts on top of Ethereum Blockchain. The reason why Bitcoin’s Blockchain is not able to support a Turing Complete language is that it would endanger the blockchain to specific types of risk which Bitcoin programmers thought would be too relevant to ignore.
- A Turing Complete language is able to process complex instructions, meaning that it is able to execute more complex tasks.

Answers:
- EVM stands for Ethereum Virtual Machine and uses the CPU: it read smart contracts and ask the CPU to execute the instructions.
- The format of the instructions is bytecode.
- Solidity use a special application called a compiler, which takes the code and compile the logic and instruction down to byte code.
- Bitcoin can’t run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum because Bitcoin is not turing complete
- A turing complete language allows complex programming so that you can program anything you want (including loops).

1. What does the EVM do?
EVM= ETH VIRTUAL MACHINE
All ETH nodes run and agree “EVM” . It reads the S.C. lines of command compiled into byte code and make them be executed by the CPU of the node. It come on top of the CPU itself so S.C and Hardware are isolated from each other. It gives more security to the network in running smart contracts. In the end, it gives CONSENSUS where all SC would gives same results .
2. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
BYTE CODE developed with SOLIDITY for instance.

2. It reads the bytecode in a smart contract.
3. Solidity is the programming software that developers use to create the smart contracts and creates the bytecode.
4. Because there is not enough room in the blocks for handling so much information along with the transactions in needs to contain, plus the Bitcoin blockchain can not use looping which Solidity does allow. If looping was used in the bitcoin blockchain people could spam the network.
5. A Turing complete program language allows developers in theory to create anything they want program wise.

Bitcoin uses Script programming language. This language is very limited to just Bitcoin. Script is not Turing complete, which means it cant solve all the problems it might have to solve. While in Solidity, for Ethereum, it is Turing Complete.

Turing Complete means the compiler can do more complex things. Solve more types of problems. Similair to JS
1: The EVM reads and executes the smart programs, which are written in Bytecode format on the Ethereum blockchain.
2: The format of the instructions that the EVM can read is Bytecode.
3: The programming language Solidity is the program code which entails all instructions / executions for the EVM, and Bytecode is the compiled version of this code which the EVM can read.
4: Bitcoin can not run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum, because its coding language is not sofisticated enough to execute these smart contracts.
