EVM Security Model

Definition

The EVM security model is the set of rules and safeguards protecting applications on Ethereum-compatible blockchains. This refers to the architectural and operational framework that defines how smart contracts execute and interact within the Ethereum Virtual Machine environment, including its inherent protections against common vulnerabilities. This model governs transaction validity, state transitions, and gas mechanisms, establishing a secure, deterministic execution context. Understanding its parameters is crucial for developing robust and resilient decentralized applications.
