# EVM-compliant blockchains

### EVM-compliant blockchains <a href="#c8f5" id="c8f5"></a>

EVMs are second-tier blockchains, a kind of superstructure over Ether. Your wallet address in each of these networks is the same. The smart contracts and how they are used are also identical.\
Here’s what it looks like:

In the screenshot you see a metamask wallet, which is connected to the Etherium network, I circled the wallet address

And we see that the wallet address remains the same, but all subsequent actions already take place on a completely different blockchain. Coins there are different, and the main network is BNB (like ETH on Ether). And network commissions are much lower here ($0.1 — $0.5).
