A virtual machine serves as the layer between the executing software and executing machine. It also allows multiple applications to run independently of each other. A great example of a virtual machine in the blockchain ecosystem is the #Ethereum #Virtual #Machine (#EVM). #EVM is a distributed state machine that can not only create a decentralized currency, such as #Bitcoin or #Ethereum but also #decentralized applications using smart contracts. To achieve this, #EVM updates states of the applications built on top of it, in each creation of the new block. The #EVM executes as a stack machine with a depth of 1,024 items. Each one of these items is a 256-bit word, which was chosen for the ease of use with 256-bit cryptography such as Keccak-256 hashes or secp256k1 signatures. ☑️ Read more: coremultichain.com ☑️ Contribution on: cmcx.io #CORE #CMCX #smartcontract #smartcontracts #CoreMultiChain #blockchain
