Gas fees. The EVM has scalability limitations, meaning it can only handle a limited number of transactions per second. As a result, when the network is too crowded, the gas fees can shoot up very quickly. Due to the popularity of Ethereum, it can become expensive to deploy custom smart contracts or bulky applications. You need to optimize your contracts for speed and efficiency, removing repetitive code or unnecessary functions. You also need to account for the fact that storage costs on Ethereum can be equally expensive.Another disadvantage of EVM is that once you deploy a smart contract on the blockchain, you can’t change it. This can be a major problem if you discover a bug or vulnerability after deployment. In such cases, you’ll need to redeploy the entire contract, and the extra fees can add up quickly.The Future of EVMThe future of EVM is bright, with growing adoption and exciting developments on the horizon.For instance, with other blockchains using a common base such as EVM, interoperability is becoming easier. For instance, developers can easily create dApps compatible with multiple blockchains at once. Further, it’s easier to transfer funds between EVM-compatible blockchains, so new blockchains can scale faster.Another exciting development for the EVM is the EOF upgrade in 2023. To explain, EOF stands for EVM Object Format and it will be the first upgrade to the Ethereum Virtual Machine since its inception in 2015. To learn more about the details, make sure you read the EOF documentation. But to give you a basic overview: EOF will significantly change how EVM works, allowing for cheaper and faster smart contracts and an overall increase in security.Your Wallet on EVM blockchainsIf you’ve ever wondered why your address is the same on your Ethereum wallet as it is on Polygon, let’s get into why. Now, your wallets on EVM blockchains are “Externally Owned Accounts (EOA)”, which means they use traditional key pairs to access them. One of them is the public key, an identifier, and the other is the private key, the passphrase. Wallets are of two types: Software or hardware wallets. Software wallets are digital wallets that store your private keys on your computer or mobile device. On the other hand, hardware wallets store your private keys offline on a physical device.No matter which of these wallets you have, all EVM-compatible blockchains use EVM as the base technology. Accordingly, they use the same addressing scheme. Wallet addresses on these blockchains start with “0x” followed by 40 characters of alphanumeric code.That means you can use the same wallet address on all EVM-compatible blockchains, such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Polygon.Keep Your Assets Secure Using a Ledger Hardware WalletAlthough software wallets provide easy access, hardware wallets keep your crypto secure from physical or digital attacks. Your private key is stored offline, so your assets are completely in your control. When it comes to security, Ledger’s industry-leading hardware wallets have you covered. Ledger’s devices have an advanced secure element chip, the preferred solution for securing
