What Every Blockchain Developer Should Know About EVM Internals— Part 1.
What is the EVM actually executing? Start with gas, bytecode, and the places a contract keeps its data.
Understanding blockchain,
beneath the surface.
0xByteBeetle is where I write about how blockchains actually work. I unpack EVM execution, Solana’s account model, and Hyperliquid’s architecture for technical people who want to go deeper, whether for their work or their own curiosity.

All articlesPick a chain. These are the first articles in each series; you don’t need to start in the middle.
Understanding Solana: Architecture, Account Model and Transactions — part 1
Start with Solana’s architecture before getting into accounts, programs, and transactions.
Hyperliquid: Beyond Generic VMs: The Architecture Internals Part 1
Why split a blockchain into HyperCore and HyperEVM? Start with the architecture behind the exchange.
Prefer a structured path?
The articles explore individual questions. The bootcamps connect those ideas through detailed lessons, technical questions, and hands-on projects.

Start with Ethereum’s internals and follow a transaction through the system. Build toward a token-swap app with a backend, wallet views, and live transaction monitoring.

Advanced EVM Bootcamp
For people already comfortable with Solidity: custom tokens, upgradeable contracts, AMM mechanics, gas, and adversarial testing, brought together in a protocol project.

I’m a blockchain engineer. I like following a question past the interface: into the transaction, the account data, or the code that makes the behavior possible. 0xByteBeetle is where I share what I find.
