Vitalik wants to rip out the Ethereum engine and replace it with RISC-V because 80 percent of ZK costs are buried in the state tree and VM. It sounds like a desperate mechanic trying to fix a lemon while driving down the highway at eighty. And my shoes are wet. He wants a binary tree to shave off bandwidth but every time they touch the base layer they leave a back door for the bugs to crawl in. If they actually pull this off we get faster proofs but we also get a massive pile of new attack vectors that some intern will inevitably exploit while we sleep. Trading is a mug game anyway. @blockchainbrawlers
