ChainCatcher news, reported by The Block, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed on April 20 at the Ethereum Magicians forum to replace the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with the open-source instruction set architecture RISC-V to enhance execution layer efficiency.

Vitalik pointed out that this move could increase 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-term scalability bottlenecks in data availability, block production competitiveness, and ZK-EVM proofs.
