🔥 $ETH transitions to local nodes: Vitalik Buterin proposes a new approach to scaling
🧠 Instead of relying on centralized RPC services, the network will bet on local nodes with partial state — lightweight clients that store only the part of the data that is actually needed by the user.
📍 At the core: • EIP-4444: storing history for ~36 days • ZK-EVM or Stateless proofs — for verification • Dynamic on-chain storage: the node chooses what to keep • Rising costs of storage, simplification of execution
💡 What this brings: — Reduced dependence on Infura and Alchemy — Improved user privacy — Real return to node decentralization — The ability for anyone to run their own Ethereum without a mega server
📈 Potential: $ETH becomes not just more scalable, but more resistant to censorship and regulation. This is a new generation of Web3 infrastructure.
