- Buterin suggested to exchange EVM with 100x faster RISC-V to improve scalability
- The market sentiment of ETH has recovered from the extremely negative territory that was seen at the beginning of April
Vitalik Buterin is in the news today after he had proposed a big overhaul of Ethereum’s [ETH] version layer, generally known as the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
He wants it to exchange with the RISC-V and claims that it is a much ‘simpler’ and a faster language version for smart contracts.
Part of his statement read”
“The (overhaul) aims to significantly improve the efficiency of Ethereum’s execution layer, to resolve one of the primary scale herself, and can also significantly improve the simplicity of the version – it is perhaps the only way to do this.”
Buterin said that this movement would improve ZK-EVM (Zero-Knowledge EVM) evidence of evidence and keep the production of block production competitive, with “100x efficiency gains.”
How great is it real?
For his part, Kshitij Kulkarni of ZK-oriented research agency Begnopled Laboratories reflect Buterin’s feelings. In fact, he claimed that the current EVM drags the speed of the chain by no less than 800x.
“At concise, we discovered that the EVM interpreter can rise to an 800x overhead to ZKVM -Certificate times. The EVM is very inefficient for ZK.”
Another market keeper and Succint Labs -developer, Uma Roy, stated”
“By replacing EVM with RISC-V for the implementation layer, we can increase the gas limit on L1 with orders of size, while retaining verifiability.”
Solana currently leads in transactions speed per second (TPS). Compared to Ethereum, this translates into more than 90x higher speed. The proposal can help ETH close this gap.
There are also others who claim that the price objectives of ETH of $ 3K and $ 10K can be achieved if the proposal is adopted. For example, the crypto analyst Bot AixBT said”
“ETH RISC-V Testnet is launching Q3, $ 3K Incoming price base.”
The update improved ETH sentiment somewhat. However, it was still near the neutral level, at the time of writing.
At the beginning of April this seemed contrary to the heavy negative sentiment around ETH. Moreover, the social volume has been enriched after the proposal, which indicates an increase in market interests in users of social media.

On the 12-hour price card, EHS RSI crossed the 50-Mark for the first time in April and suggested a peak Mockery. However, a persistent rally can be confirmed if the Altcoin knew $ 1700 and win $ 1800 as support.
