Buterin Proposes RISC-V to Boost Ethereum Efficiency

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is reportedly floating the idea of swapping out the Ethereum Virtual Machine’s (EMV) current contract language for RISC-V. The goal is to boost execution speed and efficiency as the network seeks to better compete with high-performance smart contract platforms. Buterin outlined several long-term hurdles the network must address to scale effectively. Among them: developing reliable data availability sampling, keeping block production decentralized and competitive, and advancing zero-knowledge proof systems for the EVM source: https://news.shib.io/2025/04/21/buterin-proposes-risc-v-to-boost-ethereum-efficiency/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=buterin-proposes-risc-v-to-boost-ethereum-efficiency
