I imagine that everyone in CT must have read @VitalikButerin proposal to move Ethereum from the EVM execution layer to RISC-V execution layer. this incredibly bullish for $ETH because its going to make Ethereum 100x better. But what does this mean for projects like @SuccinctLabs that already use the RISC-V architecture for ZK proof generation? the short answer is that it is very bullish for succinct! and here’s why: with EVM transitioning to RISC-V execution layer, succinct is well-positioned to remain relevant, benefiting from a network-wide improvement in scalability, cost, and cryptographic support. > Alignment of Architectures: Succinct SP1 uses RISC-V as its core architecture for generating succinct ZK proofs. With Ethereum natively adopting RISC-V, SP1 becomes directly compatible with Ethereum’s new execution environment, eliminating the need for EVM-to-RISC-V translation layers.

> Efficiency Gains: Currently, most ZK provers (including SP1) emulate the EVM by translating EVM bytecode to RISC-V to generate proofs. If Ethereum natively use RISC-V, proof systems like SP1 can work more efficiently, potentially improving proof generation speed and costs by up to 100x. > Simplified Integration: SP1 and similar ZK systems will be able to interact with Ethereum’s execution layer more seamlessly, as both will operate on the same instruction set, reducing complexity and overhead for developers. > tldr Ethereum’s move to RISC-V makes Succinct SP1’s architecture a natural fit, unlocking greater efficiency and seamless integration with the Ethereum base layer. Succinct is already great tech judging from all the excitement around the project, now it's going to be even 100x better. ALL IN SUCCINCT gprove
