Linea Ends Direct EVM Arithmetization, Moves to RISC-V to Match Ethereum’s Proving Roadmap

TLDR: Linea’s shift to RISC-V reduces instruction complexity from EVM’s full opcode set to roughly 40 instructions. Every Ethereum hard fork previously forced complete rewrites of Linea’s ZK constraint modules under the old system. RISC-V enables Type-1 Ethereum compatibility automatically through standard compiler tooling, replacing manual constraint work. Linea retains zkC, Vortex, and Arcane in [...]
