Scalable EVM Environment

Definition

A scalable EVM environment is a blockchain ecosystem or layer-2 solution designed to significantly increase the transaction processing capacity of the Ethereum Virtual Machine while maintaining compatibility. This allows decentralized applications built for Ethereum to operate with lower fees and higher speeds. It typically achieves scalability through various techniques, including rollups, sidechains, or sharding. Such environments are critical for widespread adoption of EVM-compatible applications.
