What is SVM?

SVM is the "virtual computer" used on the Solana blockchain to run smart contracts and handle transactions. Unlike Ethereum's Virtual Machine (EVM), SVM uses parallel processing. Thanks to its built-in Sealevel engine, SVM can process thousands of transactions simultaneously, rather than sequentially like EVM, significantly speeding up transaction processing and improving network scalability. Moreover, SVM is developed using Rust, a language known for its performance, security, and ability to handle concurrent tasks, giving Solana a technical advantage when managing high loads.
