Understanding GnoVM, the Powerful Machine Behind
Gno.land 🤖
• GnoVM is the virtual machine that powers the
Gno.land blockchain. Think of it as the engine that runs all the decentralized applications on the network.
• Every time a transaction occurs, GnoVM automatically remembers and stores all changes permanently on the blockchain. You don’t have to manually save anything.
• The same code and inputs will always produce exactly the same output, no matter when or where it runs (fully deterministic).
• Instead of converting code into bytecode, GnoVM directly interprets the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). This makes it simpler, more transparent, and easier for Go developers to work with while maintaining security and performance.
