  1. What does the EVM do?

  • EVM, which stands for Ethereum Virtual Machine, acts as the intermediary between the CPU of the nodes that run the Ethereum blockchain and the smart contracts (pieces of code in solidity). EVM is responsible for interpreting the bytecode (compiled code) of smart contracts and, then, sending these instructions to the CPU in order for the CPU to execute them;

  • It also serves as a sandbox, which means that it protects the CPU from any kind of malicious code. In other words, everything that happens in Ethereum happens only in the EVM and has no power on CPU functions that is not supposed to have such as enabling your webcam or saving everything that you type on your keyboard.

  1. What is the format of the instructions that the EVM can read?
  • Bytecode.
  1. What is the relationship between the programming language Solidity and Bytecode?
  • Solidity is the language used to develop the smart contracts (programable instructions), which is compiled to bytecode so it can be read by the EVM.
  1. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
  • Because Bitcoin was designed to be digital gold. Its sole purpose is to transfer value P2P without the necessity of a third-party (banks or whatsoever). Because of that, its programming language (script) is very limited and is not Turing Complete.
  1. What is a Turing Complete programming language?
  • A Turing Complete Language is a language that is capable of performing computations in order to solve any kind of problem. They have logic structures such as conditional statements, loops, etc.

1 The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a runtime environment for smart contracts in Ethereum. It is used to execute code and store data on the Ethereum blockchain.

2 The EVM can read instructions in the form of bytecode, which is a low-level language that is compiled from higher - level languages such as Solidity.

3 Solidity is a high-level programming language that is used to write smart contracts for the Ethereum blockchain. The code written in Solidity is then compiled into bytecode, which is the language that the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) can read and execute.

4 Bitcoin is blockchain-based cryptocurrency that is designed to be a digital form of money. Ethereum, on the other hand, is a blockchain-based platform that is designed to run complex programs and applications. Bitcoin does not have the same capabilities as Ethereum, as it is not designed to run complex programs.

5 A Turing Complete programming language is a language that can be used to solve any computational problem, given enough time and memory. Examples of Turing Complete programming languages include Solidity., JavaScript, and Python.

  1. EVM is the Ethereum Virtual Machine that executes each transaction via isolated nodes. Each block has an individual EVM and reaches consensus once all nodes enter the same transaction.

  2. The EVM executes instructions “line by line”.

  3. Solidity is the programming language developed by Vitalik to interact with the Ethereum blockchain. The EVM turns Solidity into bytecode so that the computer can understand the instructions to execute. The computer doesn’t care about the programming language but it cares about the bytecode, so the EVM is the middleman between Solidity and Bytecode.

  4. Bitcoin has a programming language on Script but since the founder of Bitcoin did not want the network to get spammed, it limited the iterations or loops it would be able to do on the bitcoin blockchain. As a result, Vitalik created a different, more complex programming language that would interact with its own blockchain to develop complex applications on the Ethereum blockchain.

  5. The Turing Complete programming language is any language that is able to create “in theory” any application imagined. Unfortunately, in order to limit the number of iterations and loops that destroys blockchains, Vitalik created a language that would be costly to users because of the power needed to run these nodes and the gas fees associated with creating blocks.

  1. What does the EVM do?
    Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a runtime environment that executes code on the Ethereum blockchain. It is a decentralized, Turing-complete virtual machine that enables the execution of smart contracts written in various programming languages, with Solidity being the most commonly used language.

  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?
    Solidity is a high-level, statically-typed programming language specifically designed for writing smart contracts on the Ethereum platform. It resembles JavaScript in its syntax and is the primary language used for developing smart contracts on Ethereum. When you write a smart contract in Solidity, it is compiled into bytecode, which is a low-level representation of the code that can be executed by the EVM. The EVM then runs this bytecode, executing the logic defined in the smart contract.

  4. Why can’t Bitcoin run the same type of complex programs like Ethereum can?
    Because Bitcoin’s programming language, Script AND IS NOT TURING

  5. What is a Turing Complete programming language

  6. A turing complete programming language is a programming language that’s so flexible that you can write whatever program you want on it. A non-turing complete programming language would be a programming language where you could only program applications that generated a website with a variable set colors, while a turing complete programming language would make you able to create the website from scratch yourself.

1. What does the EVM do?

EVM stands for ethereum virtual machine. The ETH network is basically a network of computers with many nodes in charge of distributing data through. The ethereum virtual machine is basically the computer that stands on the top of each node and stands between a computer’s CPU and the smart contract. Smart contract basically consists in a some lines of code, specifically Solidity. All of the nodes has his own version of the ethereum virtual machine. Each node of the network runs his version of this program (EVM) which is on top of each single node and uses his(EVM) Hardware and CPU power. And, the most important thing, is that is able to read and execute smart contracts.

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

Smart contract is written in Solidity code then compiled into bytecode, the language read by the EVM which can execute the instruction present in the smart contract.

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

As above, Smart contract is written in Solidity code then compiled into bytecode, the language read by the EVM which can execute the instruction present in the smart contract.

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

Since Bitcoin was programmed in script language, which is not Turing complete. That means that is not programmable as as a solidity, JavaScript or any other programming language. For example script language doesn’t have any kind of loop like solidity, so you can not programme any application or a software. The reason why the BTC programmers didn’t want any kind of let’s say smart contract, that can potentially increase the size of the block or the entire network keep in risk all the BTC ecosystem.

4. What is a Turing Complete programming language?

A Turing a complete language is basically a language can execute calculation, can perform loops and iterations End in general can be programmed.
