Non-EVM networks are blockchain networks that do not utilize the Ethereum Virtual Machine for executing smart contracts and processing transactions. These networks often possess distinct architectural designs, consensus mechanisms, and programming languages. Examples include Solana, Polkadot, and Cardano, each offering different performance characteristics and development environments.
Context
The blockchain ecosystem extends beyond Ethereum, with non-EVM networks seeking to address perceived limitations in scalability, transaction costs, or specialized functionality. Interoperability between EVM and non-EVM chains remains a significant technical challenge and an active area of development. Understanding these diverse platforms is essential for comprehending the broader digital asset landscape.
