The Ethereum Foundation is planning to develop a new virtual machine aimed at enhancing both privacy and scalability on the Ethereum blockchain. According to CoinTelegraph, the organization is considering leanISA and RISC-V as leading candidates for this upgrade.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has long advocated for innovations that improve the network’s efficiency and user privacy. Introducing a new virtual machine could mark a significant step forward in these areas, potentially reducing computational overhead while increasing transaction confidentiality.
For Japanese investors and developers, this move aligns with the growing demand for scalable and secure decentralized applications, reinforcing Ethereum’s position in the competitive crypto ecosystem.
