Smart contracts in Ethereum are executed through a process called "EVM execution," which stands for Ethereum Virtual Machine execution. When a smart contract is deployed to the Ethereum blockchain, it becomes part of the network's immutable ledger. When someone initiates a transaction that involves interacting with a smart contract (such as sending tokens or triggering a function), the Ethereum network validates and executes the transaction.
During execution, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) processes the smart contract's code according to the rules defined in the contract. This execution occurs across all nodes in the Ethereum network, ensuring consensus and integrity. Smart contract development involves writing code in Solidity or other compatible languages, compiling it into bytecode, and deploying it to the Ethereum network. Once deployed, the smart contract can be interacted with by users or other smart contracts, triggering predefined actions based on the input provided.
