An EVM-compatible chain is a blockchain network capable of running smart contracts originally designed for the Ethereum Virtual Machine. This compatibility allows developers to deploy existing Ethereum applications with minimal modification. It promotes interoperability and expands the reach of decentralized applications across multiple networks. Such chains often aim to offer improved scalability or lower transaction costs compared to Ethereum itself.
Context
The proliferation of EVM-compatible chains is a central theme in current blockchain development, as platforms compete for developer and user activity. News often covers new chains launching with EVM support and the technical advantages they present. A key debate involves the long-term sustainability of various EVM implementations and their capacity to attract substantial network value.
