Basics of the Ethereum Virtual Machine

December 19
Maybe itā€™s that the holidays are just around the corner, but Iā€™ve been thinking a lot about family lately.

Nor is it my crypto family, without whom Iā€™d be a floundering fish left dry on the docks of this web3 revolution. Rather, Iā€™ve been thinking about the big family of blockchains that all rely on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), the key component of the blockchain tech stack that transforms the ecosystems of Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche, and dozens of others from a simple decentralized ledger, like Bitcoin, into virtual computers running the decentralized applications which are powering the next generation of the internet.
