## evm and opcodes

<br>

### tl;dr

<br>

* the evm is a quasi-turing complete machine (quasi because computation is intrinsically bounded/limited through a parameter: gas). it's the runtime environment for smart contracts.
* the evm memory is a simple stack-based architecture with: stack, volatile memory, non-volatile storage (word size of 256-bit) and calldata.
