An EVM is a blockchain-based computer system at the center of the Ethereum operating system used in transaction execution, smart contracts, and other operating functionalities. EVM also enables developers to create dApps on its blockchain.
Some autonomous blockchains that have integrated the EVM include BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, and Fantom.
Near Protocol is a decentralized application platform that aims for usability among developers and users. The Protocol is also a smart contracts ecosystem operating a proof-of-stake consensus model.
