Contracts written in Solidity—who executes them in the end?
One detail: EVM execution must be deterministic: the same input must produce the same result on every node, otherwise the nodes cannot reach consensus.
Once a contract is deployed, its bytecode is fixed and anyone can inspect it. Whether the source code is readable depends on whether the developer has made it public on a block explorer.
Remember this; it’s more useful than memorizing a bunch of jargon. Every reward comes with corresponding risks, so take a close look at the worst-case scenario.
When you call a contract on Ethereum, the EVM charges Gas for every instruction it executes, paid with $ETH .
