TechFlow news, April 21 — According to The Block, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed on April 20 at the Ethereum Magicians forum replacing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with the open-source instruction set architecture RISC-V to enhance execution layer efficiency. Buterin noted this change could improve zero-knowledge proof efficiency by up to 100 times while maintaining bidirectional compatibility with existing EVM contracts. The proposal aims to address Ethereum's long-standing scalability bottlenecks in data availability, block production competitiveness, and ZK-EVM proofs.
