Goodbye EVM? Vitalik is about to perform a "heart surgery" on Ethereum
Ethereum developers tend to bypass the EVM and adopt precompiled contracts for new cryptographic operations. Vitalik Buterin proposed enhancing Ethereum's versatility by changing the state tree and virtual machine, suggesting replacing the current state tree with a binary tree and using the RISC-V architecture instead of the EVM in the long term. However, the Arbitrum team opposed this, arguing that WASM should be used as the contract delivery format. This proposal reflects Ethereum's re-evaluation of its core capabilities, and future changes will still require broad consensus.
