Vitalik Buterin Proposes RISC-V Framework as a Solution to Ethereum Scalability Challenges

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a significant overhaul of the network’s architecture by advocating for the use of the open-source RISC-V framework instead of the existing Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This proposal aims to address scalability issues and boost smart contract efficiency. Buterin believes that shifting to RISC-V could significantly enhance operational efficiency, potentially eliminating one of the primary scalability hurdles facing Ethereum.
