Gate News message: On March 30, Ethereum L2 project Linea announced it will shift to the RISC-V architecture. The project’s cryptography researcher Alexandre Belling said at the Ethproofs conference that the main reason for this architecture change is that each Ethereum hard fork requires a complete rewrite of the constraint module, causing the team to spend the long term dealing with complexity rather than pushing frontier performance. The RISC-V architecture provides only 32 registers and 40 instructions; for the proving system, it means a narrower trace scope, enables real-time construction, and allows the prover to begin processing proof fragments immediately. In addition, RISC-V has a narrower execution trace and Type-1 compatibility; Linea will also retain zkC (constraint native language), Vortex and Arcane (the proof/aggregation stack), as well as techniques such as formal verification. Linea said this move is highly aligned with the RISC-V roadmap being advanced by the Ethereum Foundation, and more technical details will be published in a few weeks.
