Linea, an Ethereum Layer 2 network by ConsenSys, is transitioning from direct EVM arithmetization to a RISC-V-based proving architecture to improve performance and modularity. This change reduces instruction complexity from the full EVM opcode set to about 40 instructions, enabling faster proof generation and automatic Ethereum compatibility through standard compiler tools. The move eliminates the need for complete rewrites after Ethereum hard forks, freeing up research capacity. Linea retains key cryptographic components like zkC, Vortex, and Arcane, ensuring continuity of its cryptographic expertise while aligning with Ethereum Foundation's roadmap. The transition also enhances auditability and accessibility of the proving stack, positioning Linea as a leader in Ethereum's evolving ecosystem.
