The Complete Solidity Course - Zero to Advanced for Blockchain and Smart Contracts - Assembly and EVM OpCodes with Solid

The video tutorial explains that smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain are not directly written in Solidity but are compiled into a lower-level language for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Solidity is used to create efficient code compilations, which are then translated into OP codes that the EVM understands. The tutorial also covers the use of inline assembly within Solidity, allowing direct manipulation of the EVM, which can be risky and should only be used when necessary. A practical example is provided to demonstrate how a function can be created using inline assembly to interact with the EVM.
