Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Blerin has suggested to replace the current language of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) contract with the RISC-V teaching architecture to improve the speed and efficiency of implementing the Ethereum network layer.
April 20 by Blerin proposal outlined by some long -term bottlenecks for Ethereum network scale Includes, stable data availability, ensuring block production remains competitive, and the proof of zero-knowing EVM.
The Ethereum co-founder argued that the implementation of the RISC-V architecture in intelligent contracts would maintain production markets to be competitive and improve the efficiency of zero knowledge functions for the implementation layer. Buterin wrote:
“Beam chain’s efforts hold a great promise for the fully alleviation of the agreed layer of Ethereum, but for the implementation layer to see similar acquisitions, this type of radical change may be the only viable path.”
The proposal features the struggle of the Ethereum network to improve throughput and remain competitive with next -generation monolithic blockchain such as Solana and the SUI networks at a time when Investors are losing confidence In the original smart contract blockchain.

Ethereum’s scale and a downfall of Ether’s price
Ethereum Blob fees, transaction fees taken from Ethereum Layer-2 scaling scaling networks, dropped to a weekly low to 3.18 Ether (Eth) On the week of March 30, according to data from Olerscan.
With the current Ether prices, the 3.18 ETH collected for Blob fees during the equivalent of approximately $ 5,000.
In April 2025, Ethereum network fees dropped to their lowest levels since 2020averaging around $ 0.16 per transaction.
According to In Santiment Marketing director Brian Quinlivan, the dramatic reduction in fees is due to fewer users sending transactions to the Ethereum base layer, which selective instead of using intelligent contracts or one of the many Ethereum scaling scaling solutions.
Ethereum layer-2 networks are described as a Double blade sword That is noteworthy -the transaction costs to the base layer are lowered but it has also been able to cultivate Ethereum base layer revenue.
Concerns surrounding the generation of income in the base layer and the corrosive effects of Layer-2 scaling solutions on the Ethereum market sharing Ether’s price to historical lows And it can plunge ether prices around $ 1,100 if the investor’s confidence will continue to disappear.
