The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a Turing complete runtime environment for Ethereum smart contracts. Every node on the Etheruem network runs the Ethereum Virtual Machine. This allows developers to create applications that run on the blockchain, and also allows users to interact with these applications in a trustless manner.The EVM is at the heart of what makes Ethereum so powerful, and it is one of the reasons why this platform has become so popular among developers and users alike.
