@VitalikButerin proposed replacing Ethereum’s EVM with RISC-V to improve scalability
Let’s break it down in simple terms and pics 🧵👇
1/
What is EVM?
It’s the system that runs Ethereum’s smart contracts, like the brain of the network, processing everything
2/
RISC-V is a new, open system, like upgrading a phone that’s overloaded with apps to one that runs smoother.
It’s simpler and more efficient than EVM.
3/
Why is RISC-V special?
It’s free and open, like a LEGO set you can build however you want, unlike ARM or x86, which require licenses.
4/
Other blockchains use RISC-V too
Nervos and Polkadot use it for flexible smart contracts, like a toolbox that lets you build anything.
5/
RISC-V is faster and saves energy.
It’s like a printer that handles big jobs easily compared to one managing a heavy workload.
6/
Why does Ethereum need this?
To speed up transactions by up to 100x.
Think of a train station with delayed trains—RISC-V is like adding faster tracks.
7/
More benefits: RISC-V reduces fees and energy use with its efficiency.
It’s like using a compact electric scooter instead of a gas-powered one for your commute.
8/
New blockchains might adopt RISC-V to attract investors, like following a tech trend to look modern.
9/
Summary:
RISC-V could make Ethereum faster, cheaper, and more sustainable, while inspiring other blockchains to innovate.
