  1. What does the EVM do?

The EVM is a network of computers that receive and broadcast transactions to one another. The EVM makes it possible for one to execute code onto the ETH network in a way that the ETH community are all in consensus with one another on what the final results should be.

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

A Smart Contract. A Smart Contract is a piece of code that can be deployed onto the ETH network blockchain. The EVM is an application that runs on all computers on the ETH network. The EVM will read the Smart Contract which will probably be written in Solidity and then compiled into EVM byte code.

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

Smart Contracts are converted to byte code using a programming language called Solidity. A compiler is a special application that will take the Solidity code and compile the logic and instructions down to byte code.

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

Bitcoin uses a programming language called Script which is limited to adding logic. Script is not Turing Complete. Script cannot solve all the problems it may need to solve in some applications.

  1. What is a Turing Complete programming language?

Turing Complete means that one can program whatever they wish to through a true and complete programming language.

  1. The EVM or Ethereum Virtual Machine makes possible having a decentralized application running on the Ethereum blockchain and also provides the means for Consensus. All nodes of the network have a copy of the EVM and must use their computer’s resources to execute the code.

  2. EVM Bytecode

  3. Smart contracts are written in Solidity or Viper. These instructions are passed through a compiler, which is a separate application, and compiled, or transformed in to Bytecode.

  4. Because Script, the programming language of Bitcoin, is not Turing complete. It can only perform limited operations like dual signatures. Solidity is Turing complete and can therefore be used to program anything, although this is impractical due to Ethereum’s scalability issues.

  5. A language like Solidity that can be used to program anything, rather than a language like Script that can only being used to program limited tasks.

  1. EVM is a network of computers (nodes) that reads smart contracts from nodes and control it’s rules on each CPU (so it is safe as can’t be chnged by single CPU).

  2. EVM can read Bytecode (a numeric form of instructions, able to be read by virtual machines)

  3. Solidity programming language turns a smart contract data to Bytecode, so it can be read by EVM, than instructions from s. contract can be implemented and executed by each node.

  4. Bitcoin is written in Script language (it allows only simple commands). Ethereum is written in Solidity, which allows more logic commands and is Turing Complete (allows execute loops, calculations and repetition of actions)

  1. Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a computer application that exists on each Ethereum node. It’s responsible for reading smart contracts (which are like programs) and communicating the instructions to the CPU for it to execute. By doing this it also adds a security layer to protect the network, ensuring the CPU doesn’t have to communicate to the Smart Contract directly if it were to give malicious instructions.
  2. Even though Smart Contracts are written in Solidity, the code is placed in a compiler that compiles the programming code into Bytecode. EVM reads this Bytecode for instructions to pass on to the CPU.
  3. Solidity is the programming language of Ethereum that developers use to program basically anything. This programming code is then placed into a compiler and is compiled into Bytecode. The EVM passes this bytecode over to the CPU for it to execute the instructions that were originally written in Solidity. Because the instructions are communicated and executed in bytecode, it’s easy to add more languages later on.
  4. Bitcoin operates with a non Turing complete programming language called script. Script doesn’t allow programmers to create loops, therefore limiting it’s capabilities to very basic programming.
  5. A Turing complete programming language allows for the creation of programming loops, which allows you to tell a program to repeat something several times. Turing complete programming language can solve any computational problem, no matter how complex.
