Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has shared a new proposal that would radically overhaul the system that powers its smart contracts.

Ethereum联合创始人Vitalik Buterin分享了一项新提案，该提案将大大改革其智能合同的系统。

Buterin's suggestion, which he posted on Ethereum's primary developer forum, involves replacing the Ethereum Virtual Machine, the software engine that powers programs on the network, with RISC-V, a popular open-source framework that offers built-in encryption and other benefits.

他在以太坊的主要开发人员论坛上发布的Buterin的建议涉及替换以太坊虚拟机，这是为网络上提供动力程序的软件引擎，RISC-V是一个流行的开源框架RISC-V，可提供内置的加密和其他好处。

The EVM is a key piece of Ethereum's underlying design and has been seen as one of the main elements that helped the network succeed in a crowded field of other blockchains. Many non-Ethereum networks have used the EVM to build their own chains, as has a growing ecosystem of layer-2 networks built atop Ethereum, including Coinbase's Base chain.

EVM是以太坊基础设计的关键部分，被视为帮助网络在其他区块链的拥挤领域取得成功的主要要素之一。许多非埃特米网络都使用了EVM来建立自己的链条，以及在以太坊上建立的第2层网络的生态系统的日益增长的生态系统，包括Coinbase的基本链。

The EVM has long played an essential role in Ethereum's development. Other chains that use it can seamlessly connect with apps on Ethereum, and developers on EVM-based networks can transition more smoothly to building applications directly within the Ethereum ecosystem.

EVM长期以来在以太坊的发展中发挥了重要作用。使用它的其他连锁店可以与以太坊上的应用程序无缝连接，基于EVM的网络的开发人员可以更顺利地直接过渡到以太坊生态系统内的构建应用程序。

Buterin argued that transitioning Ethereum to a RISC-V architecture will “greatly improve the efficiency of the Ethereum execution layer, resolving one of the primary scaling bottlenecks, and can also greatly improve the execution layer’s simplicity.” (The execution layer is the part of the network that reads smart contracts.)

Buterin认为，将以太坊过渡到RISC-V体系结构将“大大提高以太坊执行层的效率，解决主要的缩放瓶颈之一，也可以大大提高执行层的简单性。” （执行层是读取智能合约的网络的一部分。）

The RISC-V architecture, which has seen limited adoption in other blockchain ecosystems, like Polkadot, could offer "efficiency gains over 100x" for certain kinds of applications, according to Buterin. These improvements could reduce the network's costs — long seen as a major barrier to adoption.

根据Buterin的说法，RISC-V架构在其他区块链生态系统（如Polkadot）中的采用有限，可以为某些应用程序提供“超过100倍的效率提高”。这些改进可以降低网络的成本 - 长期以来被视为采用的主要障碍。

Among the primary benefits of RISC-V is its native support for certain kinds of encryption. Transitioning to the new architecture could, in Buterin's view, be a simpler alternative to the community's current plan, which involves rebuilding the EVM around zero-knowledge cryptography.

RISC-V的主要好处之一是其对某些加密的本地支持。从巴特林（Buterin）的角度来看，过渡到新体系结构可能是社区当前计划的一种更简单的选择，该计划涉及重建围绕零知识加密的EVM。

Buterin’s proposal is something developers would tackle over the long term, comparable to projects like the Beam Chain, which is looking to revamp Ethereum’s consensus layer.

Buterin的提议是开发人员在长期的长期解决的问题，可与诸如Beam Chain之类的项目相媲美，Beam Chain希望改善以太坊的共识层。

The RISC-V comes at a time of broader soul-searching for the Ethereum community. Recently, transaction volumes have declined, and Ethereum's token has lagged behind the broader market.

RISC-V是在以太坊社区进行更广泛的灵魂搜索时期。最近，交易量减少了，以太坊的代币落后于更广阔的市场。

Earlier this year, the Ethereum Foundation, the primary non-profit that supports the development of the broader Ethereum ecosystem, underwent a leadership transition in an attempt to remedy the impression among community members that the ecosystem lacked a clear roadmap and was losing its lead compared to competitors.

今年早些时候，以太坊基金会（Ethereum Foundation）是支持更广泛的以太坊生态系统发展的主要非营利组织，经过了领导层过渡，试图弥补社区成员之间的印象，即生态系统缺乏明确的路线图，并且与竞争对手相比正在失去领导。
