At the #Nervos deep dive in Palo Alto. Secure, Decentralized consensus is necessary slow. The solution to scaling is to decrease the demand for consensus by moving normal operations to layer 2.
The Nervos CKB-VM is a RISC-V interpreter written in Rust. A hardware ISA means that the VM design will be more stable and more obviously universal than an ad hoc VM like EVM or eWASM, with fewer need to fork.

You can implement crypto primitives in C or RISC-V assembly and have acceptable speed. Common primitives can be accelerated via JETs as in Urbit or Simplicity.

The native asset of Nervos is the Common Knowledge Byte, that allows you to store data. You pay for transaction fees in terms of state capacity with cycles of RISC-V (with a floating cycle price just like the Ethereum GAS price).
