EVM Gas Optimization: Untangling The Storage Refund Knot
The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is the engine powering the smart contract revolution. It’s the core of Ethereum’s functionality, enabling developers to build and deploy decentralized applications (dApps) that execute code precisely as programmed. Understanding the EVM is crucial for anyone delving into blockchain development, decentralized finance (DeFi), or the broader Web3 ecosystem. This blog post will provide a comprehensive overview of the EVM, exploring its architecture, functionality, and impact on the world of blockchain.
What is the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)?
Defining the EVM: The Heart of Ethereum
The EVM is essentially a distributed, Turing-complete virtual machine designed to execute smart contracts. Think of it as a global, decentralized computer. It's the runtime envi...
