What actually happens when you deploy a smart contract on Ethereum? Most developers click Deploy in Remix or Hardhat and move on — but under the hood, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is doing a LOT more than you think. In this video, we take a deep dive into smart contract deployment, breaking down the full lifecycle step by step — from Solidity code to live bytecode on-chain. 🔍 In this video, you’ll learn: (1) What the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) really is (2) How Solidity code is compiled into bytecode (3) What happens inside the EVM during deployment (4) Init code vs runtime code (constructor explained clearly) (5) How gas is calculated and consumed during deployment (6) How contract addresses are generated (CREATE vs CREATE2) (7) Where your smart contract is stored on-chain (8) What data lives on-chain vs tools like Etherscan 🚨 Common deployment mistakes developers make This video is designed for beginner to intermediate developers who want to truly understand Ethereum beyond tutorials and boilerplate code. If you’re learning Solidity, Ethereum, Web3, or smart contract development, this deep dive will give you the mental model every serious developer needs. 🛠 Tools Mentioned Remix IDE Hardhat Etherscan Tenderly 🚀 If you found this useful: 👍 Like the video 💬 Comment your questions 🔔 Subscribe for more deep Ethereum & Web3 content what happens when you deploy a smart contract how ethereum deploys contracts smart contract deployment explained evm deep dive for beginners ethereum smart contract lifecycle #Ethereum #EVM #SmartContracts #Solidity #Web3 #Blockchain #EthereumDeveloper #Hardhat #Remix #Etherscan #CryptoDev #coding #defi
