Linea will transition to the RISC-V architecture

Techub News reports that Ethereum L2 Linea has announced a shift to the RISC-V architecture. Linea stated that each Ethereum hard fork requires a complete rewrite of the constraint module, leading the team to spend significant time combating complexity rather than advancing cutting-edge performance. RISC-V offers only 32 registers and approximately 40 instructions. For the proof system, this results in a narrower tracking scope, enabling real-time construction, and the prover can immediately begin processing proof segments. Linea indicated that more technical details will be released in the coming weeks.
