Why RISC-V compared to, for example, WASM? #61
-
|
Consider this a low-priority question for my own learning purposes, if you don't mind answering. What motivated the decision to build risc0 on top of the RISC-V architecture, instead of WASM, or another architecture? Is RISC-V just a very simple architecture or something like that? I know it seems to be popular in microcontrollers. |

Basically, yes. Its instruction set is very simple and readily encodable in arithmetic constraints. We may choose to support any number of other architectures in the future. |
