Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson endorses Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's proposal to use RISC-V instruction-set architecture for Ethereum's execution layer.
Vitalik Buterin's proposal suggests abandoning the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) in favor of RISC-V, which would improve scalability and simplify the core codebase while maintaining compatibility with existing contracts.
Cardano's use of RISC-V in their network, specifically with the BitVMX FORCE collaboration, adds weight to Hoskinson's endorsement and reflects a growing industry trend.
The proposal's impact on Ethereum's core-dev process and whether it will be embraced is uncertain, but the endorsement from both Cardano and Ethereum founders suggests RISC-V as a long-term target for blockchain systems.
