Vitalik Proposes Replacing EVM With RISC-V to Scale Ethereum

Ethereum’s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, has sparked debate within the crypto community following an April 20 blog post on the Ethereum Magicians forum in which he proposed the idea of replacing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), the virtual machine language that Ethereum smart contracts are written in, with RISC-V, an open-source computer program architecture. According to Buterin, adopting RISC-V would “greatly improve the efficiency of the Ethereum execution layer, resolving one of the primary scaling bottlenecks, and can also greatly improve the execution layer’s simplicity.” He argues that the change would, in the long term, address at least two key bottlenecks to Ethereum’s Layer 1 (L1) scalability concerns, including maintaining competitive block production and enhancing zero-knowledge (zk-EVM) capabilities.
