The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is the runtime that executes smart contracts. Developers who understand opcodes and bytecode optimize gas (saving users money), prevent subtle bugs, and design better protocols. EVM expertise is specialized; few developers have it. Companies (Ethereum Foundation, research labs) pay $300k-500k+ for EVM specialists who optimize protocols or find vulnerabilities. Time to competency: 10-12 weeks for systems engineers. Senior practitioners earn 50-100% premium because they unlock 20-40% gas savings and prevent catastrophic exploits.
The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a runtime that executes smart contracts. Contracts compile from Solidity to EVM bytecode, sequences of opcodes (PUSH, ADD, CALL, SSTORE, etc.) that the EVM interprets. Understanding the EVM means understanding contract behavior at bytecode level. A Solidity loop might compile to 50 opcodes. Knowing how each opcode costs gas, you can optimize the loop to use 40 opcodes, saving users money. Deep EVM understanding = profound performance and security improvements.
