People ask: What exactly is the EVM, and what does “EVM-compatible” mean?
I usually answer like this: Ethereum contracts are typically written in Solidity or Vyper, compiled into bytecode, and deployed on-chain, where the EVM executes the opcodes one by one. Once a contract is deployed, its bytecode is fixed and anyone can view it. Whether you can access the source code depends on whether the developer has verified it on a block explorer.
