Here are specific advantages of switching from EVM to RISC-V for Ethereum: 1. Performance Efficiency: RISC-V allows for faster execution of smart contracts due to its register-based architecture, compared to the slower stack-based EVM. 2. JIT Compilation: RISC-V supports Just-In-Time (JIT) and Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) compilation, which can significantly improve contract execution speed. 3. Language Support: Developers can use a wider range of high-level languages (like C, Rust, and Go) instead of being limited to Solidity or Vyper, thanks to existing compiler toolchains for RISC-V. 4. Better Tooling & Debugging: The RISC-V ecosystem includes robust debugging tools and simulators, which are more mature than EVM’s limited development tools. 5. Modular and Customizable: As an open ISA, RISC-V can be tailored for specific blockchain requirements (e.g. gas accounting or cryptographic operations), unlike the fixed EVM spec. 6. Cross-Platform Portability.

But what's going to happen to L2?
