Vitalik Buterin Proposes Partially Stateless Nodes for Ethereum Scaling

  • Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed partially stateless nodes on May 19 to improve scalability and ease full node operation.
  • This proposal arose from concerns that increasing the layer 1 gas limit by up to 100 times hinders running full nodes and risks network security.
  • Buterin’s roadmap includes short-term priorities like EIP-4444 to limit nodes' historical data storage to 36 days and medium-term stateless verification reducing storage needs by about 50%.
  • Buterin emphasized that operating a full node enables individuals to interact with the blockchain in a manner that is private, resistant to censorship, and secure, underscoring the crucial role of decentralization.
  • The proposed solutions aim to enhance Ethereum's performance and privacy while preserving node usability, addressing risks from RPC provider centralization and complex node requirements.
