Ethereum Virtual Machine-Compatible Blockchains Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible blockchains are networks that adhere to the standards and protocols of the Ethereum Virtual Machine. This compatibility allows developers to deploy smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps) on these blockchains using the same programming languages and tools as they would on the Ethereum network. Types of EVM-Compatible Blockchains
  • EVM-Compatible Roll-ups
    • These are Layer 2 solutions that enhance scalability by processing transactions off the main Ethereum chain and then rolling them up into a single transaction on the main chain.
    • Examples: Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, etc

  • EVM-Compatible Layer 1 Blockchain
    • These are independent blockchain networks that support EVM standards, allowing for seamless deployment of Ethereum-based smart contracts and DApps.
    • Examples: Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, Fantom, Tron, etc
