Vitalik Buterin revolutionizes #Ethereum with state-less node proposal
Total Decentralization Within Everyone's Reach!
#VitalikButerin , co-founder of Ethereum, unleashed a wave of enthusiasm in the crypto community with an innovative proposal to reduce the hardware burden needed to run network nodes, bringing Ethereum closer to complete decentralization.
In a blog post, Buterin introduced the concept of 'partially stateless nodes', which allows users to store only a relevant subset of blockchain data (currently exceeding 1.3 terabytes) instead of the entire chain.
This design, described as a 'local library' system, enables ordinary users to run nodes on personal devices, such as laptops or phones, without the need for expensive infrastructure. The nodes would store priority data (such as smart contracts or specific tokens) and verify the rest on demand using cryptography, eliminating the reliance on complex Merkle proofs.
Buterin emphasized that this solution maximizes privacy, reduces censorship risks, and democratizes participation in the network while maintaining security.
