The future of edge computing in Web3

EVMs are the engines behind the execution of smart contracts, allowing them to operate autonomously and securely on the Ethereum blockchain. They serve as the runtime environment for code written in languages, such as Solidity. EVMs are instrumental in ensuring consistency across all network nodes and facilitating consensus among participants, making them a critical component of the Ethereum ecosystem. However, EVM computations encounter challenges with cloud computing due to latency and their centralised nature. The infrastructure around the way cloud providers are setup often causes delays, impacting the real-time responsiveness required by decentralised applications. Additionally, centralised clouds may not align with the distributed and trust less nature of blockchain, raising concerns about security and reliability. Therefore, EVMs are also one of the many ways in which Web3 is not living up to its potential due to limitations in the current internet infrastructure. Nonetheless, …
