# Dev Update Week 16 n 17: RISC-V Benchmarking & Release Automation

**Developer:** Developeruche
**Week Ending:** October 10, 2025

### Summary

These two week's focus was on two major initiatives: completing the benchmark for the RISC-V mode of the Hybrid VM and automating the release process. A significant amount of time was dedicated to writing and finalizing the benchmarking scripts to measure the performance of the RISC-V implementation. The results were compiled and presented to the team. Additionally, a new manual release script was created to streamline the deployment process.

### Accomplishments This Week

  * **RISC-V Benchmarking:** Successfully completed the benchmarking for the RISC-V mode. This involved writing the necessary scripts, preparing the assets, and generating the final benchmark results.
      * *Commits:* `feat/bench-riscv-mode` in pull request \#38
  * **Presentation:** Delivered a presentation on the "RISCV Hybrid Ethereum" project, detailing the hybrid framework, the RISC-V VM, and the benchmark results.
  * **Release Automation:** Implemented a manual release script and updated the release workflow to improve the deployment process.
      * *Commits:* `manual release script`, `switched to manual release`, `update release flow`, `scrite`, `release yml`
  * **Pull Request:** Merged the work on RISC-V benchmarking.
