EVM-compatible chains refer to blockchain networks that use Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) technology.
These chains share the same smart contract execution environment as Ethereum, allowing developers to easily deploy Ethereum-based applications on these networks.
This compatibility enables developers to use existing Ethereum tools and libraries, such as Solidity, Web3.js, and Truffle, to build and deploy decentralized applications (DApps).
Common EVM-compatible chains include Polygon, Avalanche, and Fantom. The emergence of these networks has enriched the blockchain ecosystem, providing users with more options while promoting the development of cross-chain interoperability.
