Vitalik Buterin proposed replacing the EVM with RISC-V to scale Ethereum with zk-proofs. Here’s how it works, what zkVMs already prove, and what could delay it.
Ethereum runs proof of stake. This guide walks the full validator lifecycle — stake, propose, attest, finalize — then shows how all of it maps to beacon blocks, state, and SSZ.
Enterprise blockchain RPC is a different product category from developer infrastructure. Dedicated nodes, SLA penalty clauses, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and the full procurement checklist.
Ethereum’s consensus layer has its own REST API. This guide covers the Beacon API endpoints, state identifiers, blob data, and safe production patterns.
Nethermind is Ethereum’s second-most popular execution client and the only one with a ZK-proof roadmap. Compare its architecture and performance in 2026.
