ooo, this is very interesting 

but riscv is a register machine and EVM is a stack machine 

what would the implications of this? 🤔

New @VitalikButerin blog post on replacing the EVM with RISC-V in the long-term.

I am a huge fan of this direction for Ethereum's execution layer.

Today, RISC-V zkVMs like SP1 are the clear endgame solution for "ZK-ifying" Ethereum and quickly becoming the de-facto solution for https://t.co/yFBojIheqC

this is a good reply but maybe all the EVM requirements can be made as extensions to the ISA? 🤔

I’m bearish on RISC-V and LLVM long-term for verifiable computing (aka “zero-knowledge-proving/ZKP”), because I think most people greatly underestimate the difficulty of eliminating all soundness bugs, and greatly underestimate the disastrous consequences of even one such bug.⤵️

good thread discussing different blockchain VMs

Why we built the FuelVM ⛽️

..and didn't use EVM/RISC-V/WASM/MIPS etc.

a lot of the arguments against seem to be around u256 processing in riscv.

I guess riscv+vector extension should help

vector extensions were also ratified last year

a +1 by moving towards riscv is being able to plug into the rest of the computing world easily 

don’t know how much advantage it adds but surely opens many possibilities for future
