Meanwhile, the limitations of the Blockchain asa Service (BaaS) model stem from a common structural problem: outsourcing control of infrastructure to third-party service providers inevitably involves a systemic surrender of trust, flexibility, and data sovereignty. RISC-V, with its open, modular, and extensible design, provides a general-purpose computing foundation for public blockchains that is open, low-level, compileable, verifiable, and scalable. Inspired by the development and characteristics of eSIM, the embedded Blockchain infrastructure management (eBIM) is defined as a software-hardware collaborative paradigm for blockchain infrastructure management with RISC-V. This study aims to provide a comprehensive survey on eBIM supporting research and technologies, to answer the following research questions (RQs): RQ1 What is eBIM? RQ2 How does eBIM work? RQ3 What can eBIM do? By introducing the concept ofeBIM, this paper establishes a foundational reference for researchers, hardware architects, and protocol designers in this rapidly evolving landscape, including cryptographic acceleration, trusted execution environments, zero-knowledge virtual machines, and smart contract execution engines. The prospects of the proposed e-BIM and its future research directions are indicated in this paper.  \n1. Introduction  \nThe prevailing discourse in blockchain research has shifted decisively from theoretical justification toward practical scalability. Specifically, how distributed ledger systems can be responsibly scaled to meet the demands of real-world, high-throughput deployments. In this context, data privacy is not an ancillary concern but a foundational architectural requirement. Financial institutions operating on blockchain infrastructure are subject to stringent regulatory frameworks governing the confidentiality of client data and transactional activity. Similarly, public-sector deployments must reconcile the competing imperatives of citizen data protection and systemic auditability. For digital assets, tokenized financial instruments, and verifiable data infrastructures to achieve mainstream institutional adoption, underlying blockchain platforms must provide robust, scalable privacy guarantees.  \nWhile blockchains provide strong guarantees for consensus and replicated state, blockchain systems and their embedded virtual machine (VM) execution environments  \n⋆  \nThis document is the result of the research project funded by the Smart Grid-National Science and Technology Major Project Grant 2025ZD0805900; in part by the GuangDong Basic and Applied Basic Research Foundation under Grant 2025B1515020022, 2026A1515010183; in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant T2522011 .  \n∗Corresponding author  \n {[yuanliu}@gzhu.edu.cn](yuanliu}@gzhu.edu.cn) ( Yuan Liu); [chunming.rong@uis.no](chunming.rong@uis.no) (C.
