RISC-V
Vitalik Buterin has outlined a two-part plan to address key bottlenecks in Ethereum's execution layer, focusing on the state tree and virtual machine. The proposal aims to improve efficiency for zero-knowledge proofs, shifting emphasis from Layer 2 solutions to core protocol changes. It includes replacing the current state tree structure and exploring a transition to a RISC-V-based virtual machine.
