According to PANews, Vitalik Buterin has released a research post suggesting adjustments to Ethereum's scaling roadmap to alleviate the impact of increasing the gas limit on individuals running full nodes. Buterin emphasized the importance of personal nodes not only for on-chain verification but also for local RPC data privacy and censorship resistance.
His recommendations include accelerating the full implementation of EIP-4444, developing decentralized historical data storage, and adjusting the gas mechanism to increase the cost of new state storage. Additionally, he proposed a new model of 'partial stateless nodes,' allowing users to selectively save critical states, balancing storage efficiency with local privacy.
