What is EVM?

The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a virtual machine that executes smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. It is a key component of the Ethereum network, as it allows for the creation of decentralized applications (dApps). The EVM is a Turing-complete virtual machine, meaning that it can theoretically execute any computer program.
