Excuse me, I've been hearing a lot about EVM in the cryptocurrency community, but I'm not entirely sure what it stands for or its role in the blockchain ecosystem. Could you please explain to me, in a concise manner, whether EVM is indeed a blockchain? I've heard it being referenced as a component of certain smart contract platforms, but I'm unclear if it's a separate blockchain network in itself or just a part of a larger system. Clarifying this distinction would be greatly appreciated.
