The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a decentralized runtime environment responsible for processing all computational logic and state transitions for smart contracts. As a Turing-complete virtual computer, the EVM interprets bytecode and executes it synchronously across tens of thousands of global nodes, ensuring the determinism and censorship resistance of "Code is Law."

RWA (Real-World Assets) refers to the tokenization of traditional financial or physical assets using blockchain technology, allowing them to circulate and be traded on-chain. This article introduces the concept of RWA, its development background and market trends, explains the asset-on-chain process and common models, analyzes its relationship with traditional finance (TradFi) and DeFi, discusses regulatory and risk considerations, and explores the long-term potential and future direction of RWA.

RWA (Real World Assets) refers to an innovative model that tokenizes traditional financial or physical assets using blockchain technology, enabling them to be traded and managed on-chain in digital form. Starting from the basic concept of asset tokenization, this article systematically explains the three-layer core architecture and operating processes of RWA, with a focus on how assets are brought on-chain, how returns are distributed, and how settlement and default mechanisms are designed. It also analyzes key ecosystem participants, differences between RWA and stablecoin structures, and current risks and challenges, helping readers gain a comprehensive understanding of the technical logic and financial significance of RWA.

EIP-1559 represents the most significant improvement to the economic mechanism in Ethereum's history, restructuring transaction fees from a singular "first-price auction" into a dual-track model consisting of a Base Fee and a Priority Fee. The core logic of this proposal lies in automatically adjusting the Base Fee based on the elasticity of demand for block space and permanently burning it from the total supply.

The core logic of Layer 2 (L2) lies in decoupling the execution layer from the settlement layer to achieve an exponential leap in throughput. As the dominant technical paradigm of L2, Rollups bundle hundreds or thousands of transactions off-chain, submitting only compressed summary data or fraud/validity proofs to the Ethereum mainnet. This "off-chain execution, on-chain settlement" mechanism allows L2s to inherit the mainnet's financial-grade security while reducing transaction costs to mere cents, effectively breaking the blockchain "trilemma" of decentralization, security, and high performance.
