Vitalik buterin proposes RISC-V EVM language exchange.

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ether Lee, has proposed to improve the speed and efficiency of the execution layer of the Ethereum Network by replacing the current EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) contract with a RISC-V command set architecture.

Burterin’s April 20 proposal explained some long -term bottlenecks for expanding Etherrium networks, including stable data availability sampling, maintaining competitiveness of block production and ensuring zero knowledge EVM proof.

Ether Lee’s co-founder argued that if the RISC-V architecture is implemented in the smart contract, the block production market will maintain competitiveness and improve the efficiency of the zero knowledge function of the execution class. Buterin wrote:

“The beam chain effort has a great promise to greatly simplify the consensus layer of Ether Leeum, but to see similar profits for the execution layer, this kind of radical change may be the only runway path.”

The proposal emphasizes the struggle of Ether Leeum network, which is originally losing its confidence in the smart contract blockchain, improving the processing volume with the Solana and SUI networks such as Solana and SUI networks and maintaining competitiveness.

Ether Leeum’s scaling problem and ether price collapse

According to Etherscan’s data, Ethereum’s BLOB fees, Ethereum Layer-2 Scaling Network, fell to 3.18 Ether (ETH) on March 30, according to Etherscan’s data.

Using the current ether price, 3.18 ETH is about $ 5,000 for ETH collected by BLOB fees during this period.

In April 2025, Ether Leeum Network rates fell to the lowest level since 2020 and average $ 0.16 per transaction.

According to Brian Quinlivan, Santiment Marketing Director, the dramatic decrease in fees is to select one of the many layers -2 scaling solutions of smart contracts or Etherrium because there are few users who send a trading in the Ether Leeum Base Layer.

Ether Lee’s tier -2 network was described as a double edid sword that dramatically reduced the transaction cost of the basic layer, but the profit of the Ether Leeum Base Layer was canned.

Revenue for the basic class and the corrosion effect of the layer -2 scaling solution for Ether Leeum’s market share have led the price of ether to historical lowest, and if the investor’s confidence continues to decline, the price of ether can plunge to about $ 1,100.
