When asked, “What exactly is the EVM, and what does ‘EVM-compatible’ mean?”
I usually answer like this: Ethereum contracts are generally written in Solidity or Vyper, compiled into bytecode, and deployed on-chain, where the EVM executes the opcodes one by one. “EVM-compatible” allows developers to write a contract once and deploy it on multiple chains. It also means that the same types of contract vulnerabilities may exist on several chains at once.
