Bytecode

The compiled, machine-readable version of a smart contract that runs on the blockchain's virtual machine.

Definition

The compiled, machine-readable version of a smart contract that runs on the blockchain's virtual machine. When you write a contract in Solidity, it gets compiled into bytecode that the EVM can execute. Bytecode verification on block explorers lets users confirm the source code matches what's deployed.
