Based on Cryptonews, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a significant upgrade to Ethereum's execution layer by suggesting a switch to the RISC-V instruction set architecture. This proposal, shared on April 20, aims to address key bottlenecks in Ethereum's scalability and competitiveness, such as data availability sampling and zero-knowledge proof generation. The move comes as Ethereum faces pressure from high-throughput blockchains like Solana and Sui, which offer faster and cheaper transactions. Additionally, Ethereum's revenue from 'blob fees' has significantly decreased, raising concerns about the sustainability of its base layer. Analysts warn that continued erosion of base-layer activity could further impact Ether's value.
