# EVM Chains

> 10 EVM-compatible blockchains with a single Smart Account address.

***

## What Is EVM?

**EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine)** is the standard that powers Ethereum and dozens of other blockchains. All EVM networks use the same address format (`0x...`), one token standard (ERC-20), and compatible smart contracts.

For you this means: **one Smart Account address works on all 10 EVM networks**.
