以太坊（ETH）网络活动减少，推动新提案转向RISC-V

Buterin指出，大多数零知识（ZK）掠夺已经通过将EVM转换为RISC-V来模拟EVM。

Ethereum creator, Vitalik Buterin, has proposed a radical shift in the network's architecture to pivot from the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to the open standard RISC-V architecture for smart contracts.

以太坊的创建者Vitalik Buterin提出了网络架构的根本转变，从以太坊虚拟机（EVM）转移到智能合约的开放标准RISC-V架构。

This proposal, outlined in a recent blog post, is a response to the network's decreasing activity and revenue, which has become a pressing issue for the blockchain.

该提案在最近的博客文章中概述了，这是对网络减少活动和收入的回应，这已成为区块链的紧迫问题。

In the week of March 30, the Ethereum network only collected 3.18 ETH (approximately $5,000) in blob fees for base-layer activity, highlighting the urgent need for solutions.

3月30日，以太坊网络仅收集了3.18 ETH（约合5,000美元）的斑点费用，用于基础层活动，强调了迫切需要解决方案的需求。

"The network is becoming less used, and crucially, is collecting less revenue to pay validators. Whereas at the height of DeFi, validators were earning around 0.08 ETH per day in total, in the past few months the numbers have fallen to around 3-4 ETH per week, or about 0.5 ETH per day," Buterin stated.

“该网络的使用量越来越少，至关重要的是，收入的收入减少了付费验证者。虽然在DEFI高峰期，验证者的总计每天收入约为0.08 ETH，在过去的几个月中，数字每周降至每周3-4个ETH，或每天约0.5 ETH，或者约0.5 ETH。” Buterin表示。

This shift in usage has also brought about a decline in Ether's value, with analysts warning that if usage continues shifting away from the mainnet, Ether's price could fall further, possibly to $1,100.

这种使用的这种转变也使以太价值下降了，分析师警告说，如果用法继续从主网转移，以太价格可能会进一步下降，可能会降至1,100美元。

To counter this trend and maintain support for existing contracts, Buterin suggests a hybrid approach, keeping old EVM contracts running alongside new RISC-V-based ones. This could involve using a RISC-V interpreter to execute old bytecode or running two systems in parallel within the protocol.

为了应对这一趋势并维持对现有合同的支持，Buterin提出了一种混合方法，使旧的EVM合同与新的RISC-V基于新的RISC-V一起运行。这可能涉及使用RISC-V解释器执行旧字节码或在协议中并行运行两个系统。

Over time, this integration could also open doors for Ethereum to support other virtual machines, such as Move, which is utilized by projects like Aptos and Solana.

随着时间的流逝，这种集成也可以为以太坊打开大门，以支持其他虚拟机，例如Move，该机器被Aptos和Solana等项目所利用。

"This would enable the ecosystem to benefit from the modularity and optimization efforts of other blockchain and programming language communities," Buterin explained.

Buterin解释说：“这将使生态系统能够从其他区块链和编程语言社区的模块化和优化工作中受益。”

This proposal comes ahead of Ethereum's scheduled "Pectra" upgrade on May 7, which aims to improve scalability, user experience, and validator limits. Buterin believes that for the execution layer to match the improvements seen in the consensus layer, a more fundamental change is required.

该提案是在5月7日以太坊计划进行的“ Pectra”升级之前，旨在提高可扩展性，用户体验和验证器限制。 Buterin认为，要使执行层匹配共识层中所看到的改进，则需要更根本的更改。

"We need to pivot to a fundamentally different architecture for the base layer, one that is designed to be used in the very high-throughput regime where the chain will operate with Pectra and beyond," he added.

他补充说：“我们需要转移到基本层的根本不同的架构上，该体系旨在在非常高通量制度中使用，该制度将与Pectra及其他链条一起运行。”

RISC-V's native support for modularity and optimization aligns well with Pectra's focus on improving throughput and programmability. This collaboration could unlock significant potential for the Ethereum ecosystem.

RISC-V对模块化和优化的本地支持与Pectra专注于改善吞吐量和可编程性的关注非常相吻合。这项合作可以为以太坊生态系统开启巨大潜力。
