Lumoz RaaS to Support RISC-V zkEVM: Advancing Layer2 Performance and Scalability


by Lumoz (formerly Opside) April 23rd, 2025

Lumoz RaaS introduces support for RISC-V–based zkEVM, offering prebuilt development modules and a compatible toolchain to help developers quickly deploy zero-knowledge proof applications. This solution also enhances Rollup transaction performance and reduces operational costs.

Background

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently proposed replacing the current Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with the RISC-V instruction set architecture. This proposal has sparked widespread discussion within the Ethereum community and highlighted the potential of RISC-V in the blockchain space. In parallel, Lumoz RaaS (Rollup as a Service) has announced support for a RISC-V–based zkEVM solution, aiming to deliver higher performance and scalability for Layer2.

The EVM has long been the core of smart contract functionality, supporting a diverse ecosystem of decentralized applications. However, as blockchain technology evolves, the architectural limitations of the EVM are becoming increasingly evident. As an open-source instruction set architecture, RISC-V stands out ...
