🚀🚀Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin Proposes Design to Make Running Nodes Easier
A new proposal from Ethereum’s co-founder would let users run lightweight nodes without storing the entire blockchain, trimming costs for node operators.
🔥What to know:
Vitalik Buterin has proposed a design for "partially stateless nodes" to reduce the hardware burden of running an Ethereum node.
The new model allows users to store only a subset of Ethereum’s data, making it feasible for everyday users to run nodes on personal devices.
This proposal could enhance decentralization by enabling more users to participate without needing sophisticated infrastructure.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a new design to reduce the hardware burden for running a network node, framing it as a step toward a fully decentralized network that doesn’t require sophisticated infrastructure to help maintain.
In a blog post published on Sunday, Buterin introduced the concept of “partially stateless nodes,” allowing users to store only a subset of Ethereum’s data, rather than the entire blockchain that clocks in at over 1.3 terabytes (TB).
Currently, operating a full Ethereum node requires significant disk space, often over 1 TB, making it impractical for most users. While third-party services offer access to blockchain data, they come with privacy and censorship trade-offs, Buterin noted.
Instead, his new model suggests letting each node store only the data most relevant to the user, while verifying other parts of the chain on demand using cryptography.
