Abstract
This chapter provides a high-level overview of the Ethereum blockchain. The blockchain is an ordered series of blocks, each of which is an ordered series of transactions. A transaction runs on the Ethereum Virtual Machine and executes code that modifies the state tree. We will explore each of these concepts in more detail in the following sections.
