Enhanced Flexibility and Simplification in Virtual Machine Environments

The Ethereum virtual machine (EVM) architecture provides a protected and secure environment globally by tightly constraining the code that can run inside it. In contrast, newer XVMs offer more flexibility by supporting multiple languages and functioning more like regular AWS servers with limitations such as restricted memory. This simplification enables a wider range of applications compared to building smart contracts on EVM. By evolving beyond EVM towards XVMs, developers can simplify development, facilitate broader usage, and explore new possibilities without the need for complex consensus mechanisms.
