▌What is RISC-V?
RISC-V is a modern open source instruction set architecture (ISA) based on the principle of streamlined instruction set computer (RISC). Simply put, it is like a blueprint that defines a set of instructions that a processor can execute. The RISC-V is designed to be highly modular, efficient and flexible. Originally developed by the University of California in 2010, the open source framework gives developers the flexibility to customize their features and use cases and also saves costs compared to proprietary ISAs such as ARM or x86. RISC-V is widely used, from supercomputers to smartphones, and now blockchains such as Ethereum. On April 20, 2025, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin announced a "radical" new expansion solution that will replace Ethereum virtual machines (EVMs) with the RISC-V instruction set architecture, aiming to improve the speed and efficiency of the network execution layer. The idea is that RISC-V is the best solution to the limitations of blockchain scalability.
