Vitalik Buterin has proposed replacing Ethereum's EVM with RISC-V to enhance scalability.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a long-term plan at the Ethereum Magicians forum to replace the bytecode of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with the open-source RISC-V architecture to improve the scalability of the blockchain network. Buterin stated that this radical change may be the only viable way for the execution layer to gain similar simplification benefits as the consensus layer.
