🚨 Vitalik Buterin proposes a bold shift: replacing Ethereum's EVM with RISC-V.
Why it matters:
- Up to 100x smart contract execution speed
– Embraces open-source #RISCv for better hardware compatibility
– Enables efficient support for zk-proofs & next-gen scalability
While this could modernise Ethereum’s core, it also risks breaking compatibility with existing dApps — a high-upside move, but not without transition hurdles.
A major step toward a more performant, hardware-friendly #Ethereum .
