Vitalik Buterin proposes replacing Ethereum’s EVM with RISC-V for better scalability

In a significant technical proposal, Ethereum’s co-founder Vitalik Buterin has floated the idea of replacing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with RISC-V architecture to address scalability challenges. The suggestion, made on April 21, 2025, highlights potential improvements in transaction throughput and efficiency. Buterin’s proposal could mark a fundamental shift in Ethereum’s infrastructure, as RISC-V’s open-source instruction set architecture may offer greater flexibility and performance optimization compared to the current EVM implementation. This move aligns with Ethereum’s ongoing efforts to enhance network capabilities while maintaining decentralization principles.
