nonEVM
NonEVM describes blockchain platforms and execution environments that do not run the Ethereum Virtual Machine as their primary environment for smart contracts. Instead, these networks provide alternative execution environments, such as different virtual machines, domain-specific languages, or different account and state models. This distinction influences how developers write contracts, how code is verified, and how tooling and ecosystems develop.
Common nonEVM environments include Tezos, which uses the Michelson language for smart contracts; Cardano, which employs
Interoperability and EVM compatibility are active design considerations in this space. Some nonEVM platforms offer EVM
Overall, nonEVM ecosystems represent an alternative path for smart contract platforms, prioritizing different languages, verification strategies,
