Vitalik Buterin proposed, through the Ethereum Magicians forum, that the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) could be replaced with a RISC-V architecture, making a fundamental change to the underlying execution layer of Ethereum and improving the virtual machine’s handling of smart contracts. The change, according to Buterin, could improve efficiency, enable long-term scalability, and simplify the execution layer.
RISC-V is an open standard, free architecture that is known for its flexibility. Buterin identified various bottlenecks in the current architecture and argues that...
