Ethereum — the world’s most popular smart contract platform — is a highly dynamic platform that’s always changing. One of the more radical ideas being discussed is replacing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with RISC-V, an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is one of the biggest...
Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum's co-founder, has proposed a significant shift for the blockchain: replacing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with RISC-V, a modern, open-source instruction set architecture (ISA). This EIP, first proposed on April 20 of 2025, is intended to make Ethereum’s execution layer faster and more efficient. The move could...
Ethereum is at a crossroads right now. Co-founder Vitalik Buterin is in the thick of trying to steer the cultural and architectural change necessary to simplify. Ethereum is now the front-runner in the emerging market for tokenized U.S. Treasuries. It reflects a real big total value locked (TVL) in its...
Vitalik Buterin—Ethereum’s co-founder and spiritual leader—has called for an epochal shift in Ethereum’s foundation. He proposes substituting Ethereum’s Virtual Machine (EVM) for RISC-V architecture to increase Layer 1 scalability. The proposal, which we covered in this blog post on April 20, 2025, addresses two of the main bottlenecks curbing Ethereum’s...
Ethereum needs to scale. Badly. We all know it. The clunky UX and high gas fees make it frustrating for everybody. Instead, they are incentivizing users and developers to look for faster, cheaper options. Crying foul over these actions isn’t just a lament — it’s an attack on our existence....
Okay, let's be real. When Vitalik starts explaining why instruction set architectures are the least important thing in a computer, we all, myself included, tune out. And just hear me out on this one! This RISC-V technology might be just the thing to unlock Ethereum’s full potential. It’s not only...
Vitalik Buterin, one of Ethereum’s cofounders, is calling for a radical restructuring of Ethereum’s underlying architecture. He proposes taking the current Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and swapping it out for the open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture. This proposal, advanced by members of the Ethereum Magicians community, is a pragmatic solution...
The cryptocurrency market is in the midst of a massive rally, with meme coins such as FARTCOIN and BONKCOIN enjoying huge increases. Amidst all the hype is Solaxy ($SOLX), which is rapidly emerging as a game-changer as the Layer-2 solution for Solana. Its ongoing presale has already surpassed an impressive...
