EVM Performance

Definition

EVM performance describes the speed and efficiency of transactions and smart contract execution on Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible blockchains. This refers to the throughput, latency, and cost associated with operations on blockchain networks that support the Ethereum Virtual Machine, which is a core component for running decentralized applications. High EVM performance indicates faster transaction processing and lower gas fees, which are critical for user experience and application scalability. Optimizing this performance is a primary goal for many blockchain developers.
