ChainCatcher news, ZKsync founder and Matter Labs CEO Alex Gluchowski stated that Ethereum, as the "world computer," still has a clear product-market fit, and its true moat lies in the network itself rather than downstream applications. Gluchowski emphasized that Ethereum is the foundation of the value internet, and its trusted neutrality stems from mathematics, open-source code, and thorough decentralization. He pointed out that if Ethereum can maintain its status as the world computer, the value of global transaction infrastructure and payment systems will flow directly or indirectly to ETH. At the same time, he believes that the value internet will not operate solely on a single chain; the future of Ethereum lies in becoming a secure foundational layer for a vast decentralized blockchain network, but this vision can only be realized if Ethereum fully leverages its core advantages.Meanwhile, the ZKsync team stated that they have been preparing for this transition and will make a significant announcement in the next two weeks.

ChainCatcher news, reported by The Block, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed on April 20 at the Ethereum Magicians forum to replace the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with the open-source instruction set architecture RISC-V to enhance execution layer efficiency.Vitalik pointed out that this move could increase zero-knowledge proof efficiency by up to 100 times while maintaining bidirectional compatibility with existing EVM contracts. The proposal aims to address Ethereum's long-term scalability bottlenecks in data availability, block production competitiveness, and ZK-EVM proofs.

ChainCatcher news, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that the Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC-V) is an important component of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Vitalik pointed out that the open-source instruction set is crucial in the existing formal verification roadmap for validity proofs.
