Turing Complete

The term Turing Complete refers to any machine, computer, or programming language which can solve any computational task regardless of complexity. One example of a blockchain that is not turing complete is Bitcoin. Bitcoin was designed to be Turing-incomplete as a security feature to keep the codebase minimal and secure as possible. Alternatively, Ethereum was built from the ground up to be Turing-complete which allows for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to run turing complete smart contracts.
