The RISC-V Vision: Beyond EVM Optimization When asked about Vitalik Buterin’s proposal to replace Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) bytecode with the open-source RISC-V instruction set, the answer lies in Ethereum’s deeper pivot toward ZK-driven innovation. Let’s unpack the strategic logic:EVM’s Evolution to Execution Client Vitalik’s RISC-V proposal isn’t entirely new. During Ethereum’s “Rollup-Centric” scaling strategy, he hinted at downgrading EVM from a protocol-layer component to a Rollup-a...

In March 2025, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) announced a monumental leadership restructuring: Executive Director Aya Miyagotchi stepped down from her operational role to assume the position of President, while Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz Stańczak were appointed as co-Executive Directors. Concurrently, former EF researcher Danny Ryan joined Etherealize. Facing fierce competition, Ethereum stands at a crossroads. This shakeup is not just a personnel adjustment but a strategic gamble over its futur...
