EVM

Think of EVM as the execution runtime for an Ethereum network. EVMs are primarily responsible for providing a runtime that can execute code written in smart contracts. It can access accounts, both contract and externally owned, and its own storage data. It does not have access to the overall ledger but does have limited information about the current transaction.

EVMs are the execution components in Ethereum. The purpose of an EVM is to execute the code in a smart contract line by line. However, when a transaction is submitted, the transaction is not executed immediately. Instead it is pooled in a transaction pool. These transactions are not yet written to the Ethereum ledger.
