The Ethereum co-founder argued that implementing the RISC-V architecture in smart contracts would... improve the efficiency of zero knowledge functions

Old-style EVM contracts will continue to work and will be fully two-way interoperable with new-style RISC-V contracts.

Buterin said the ‘radical’ and ‘ambitious’ idea could be the ‘only viable path’ for significantly scaling Ethereum’s execution layer.

The beam chain effort holds great promise for greatly simplifying the consensus layer of Ethereum, but for the execution layer to see similar gains, this kind of radical change may be the only viable path.

Adopting RISC-V (pronounced 'risk five'), an open-source processing architecture comparable to its proprietary competitors like ARM and x86

Buterin's post argues that in order to boost performance of Ethereum's execution layer, the network needs to boost the efficiency of the EVM proving process.

Vitalik Buterin has proposed replacing the current Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) contract language with the RISC-V instruction set architecture

Vitalik Buterin, in a new blog post on the Ethereum Magicians forum, floated a 'radical' long-term proposal for the blockchain network's execution layer: replacing the Ethereum Virtual Machine's (EVM) bytecode with the open-source RISC-V architecture.

Buterin provides numbers suggesting that implementing the proposal could lead to efficiency gains of 100x.
