Turing completeness Meaning

Turing completeness is a concept from theoretical computer science describing a computational system that can simulate a universal Turing machine. A Turing-complete system is capable of performing any calculation that can be algorithmically defined, as long as it has access to unlimited memory and time.

Most modern programming languages are Turing complete, providing developers with control structures (such as loops and conditionals) and memory storage. In blockchain, Turing completeness informs the design of smart contract languages: Ethereum’s EVM supports Turing-complete contracts, allowing developers to implement sophisticated decentralised applications.

However, with great expressive power come risks: poorly designed contracts can lead to bugs or vulnerabilities like reentrancy attacks.

Some platforms opt for Turing-incomplete scripting languages to reduce complexity, focusing on simpler and safer transaction logic.
