Vitalik Buterin Proposes Ethereum L1 Scaling With Lighter Nodes
- Vitalik Buterin introduced a new concept of partially stateless nodes to scale the Ethereum network.
- Buterin discussed how the network can become more scalable with lighter nodes in his latest blog post.
The Ethereum network and its Ether token have been lagging behind for the past few months as strong contenders emerged in the market. Scalability is one of the major issues for this, and to address this, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed a new concept in his latest blog post.
Vitalik Buterin published a new blog post recently and discussed a new design for Ethereum nodes to make their operation accessible to average users. At present, running a full node on Ethereum requires users to store the entire blockchain. This mandates users to store 1.3TB for state and approximately 500GB for history.
Buterin proposed EIP-4444, which advocates for lighter nodes and doesn’t require users to store 1.3TB for state and 500GB for history. While running a full node is valuable for the network, its impractical costs make it almost impossible for more users to join the network.
Vitalik Buterin: Partially Stateless Nodes For Ethereum Scalability
Buterin discussed three major aspects in his blog post, such as building a storage solution, separate adjustment for execution and storage, and EIP-4444. The EIP-4444 proposes lighter nodes that would only require storing a portion of the data instead of the complete ledger.
The new roadmap in Buterin’s blog post discussed something called “partially stateless nodes.” These nodes have the capability to increase the Ethereum L1 gas limit by 10 to 100 times. They verify blocks and the entire chain without storing complete data.
The partially stateless nodes store a selected set of data, which needs to be verified, instead of a full set. This new method reduces the expenses of running a node by 50% by reducing the storage data.
A senior analyst, Ryan Yoon, shared the following thoughts on this proposal with Decrypt,
“Think of it like a library system. You don’t need every book in your local branch if you can request them from other libraries when needed.”
Vitalik Buterin previously advocated for nodes that would be operable on mobile phones. However, it might take a decade or more for the technology to take shape in reality.
