The open RISC-V ISA has always been about freedom and flexibility in hardware design. Now a compelling new use case gives developers a software-only abstraction layer, taking privacy and flexibility to new heights.

There are rarely moments in technology when two open ecosystems simply ‘click’ into place. Yet here I am, feeling like the officiant between two such entities: the open hardware standard RISC-V, and the shared, immutable digital ledger that is blockchain.
Blockchain is no longer an experiment or a buzzword; it’s becoming part of the world’s critical infrastructure.
