Vitalik Buterin’s proposal to replace the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with RISC-V has the crypto community buzzing. RISC-V, for the uninitiated, is an open-source instruction set architecture (ISA). Consider it the processor’s equivalent to Esperanto, a universal language that would allow Ethereum to be quicker and less expensive. Is that...
Forget the AI hype for a minute. Seriously. I’m Thabo, crypto and blockchain cross-chain tech Analysis for a living.
