Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed replacing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with RISC-V, aiming for up to 100x efficiency gains. This shift could enhance scalability and ZK-EVM functionality, addressing long-standing bottlenecks. The move may also reignite user activity and improve Ethereum’s competitiveness against rivals like Solana and ADA.
- RISC-V adoption could optimize ZK-EVM proving, reducing bottlenecks in Ethereum's execution layer.
- The proposal includes dual VM support for backward compatibility, easing the transition for existing contracts.
- Ethereum's price shows a 3.16% daily rise amid the proposal, signaling potential market optimism.
