1/ BUTERIN DROPS A NEW BOMB: THE EVOLVABILITY OF ETHEREUM ENTERS A NEW ERA
Vitalik has just presented a radical vision for Ethereum: faster, lighter, ever more decentralized. And it could change everything.
---
2/ The heart of his idea?
Partially stateless nodes.
A concept that allows validating blocks without storing the entire history of the blockchain.
Less data = more accessibility = more nodes.
---
3/ Thanks to ZK Proofs and zkeVM architectures, each node only stores a relevant subset of data.
Result:
* Less load
* More efficiency
* Unchanged security
---
4/ Why is it huge?
Because it would allow to multiply the gas limit by 10, or even 100.
So more transactions per block, without sacrificing decentralization.
Scalability without compromise.
---
5/ Today, a full node = +1 To of data to store.
Impossible for 95% of users.
Vitalik wants to change that.
Make Ethereum executable from any personal computer.
---
6/ Another size proposal: PIE-4444
Limit historical storage to 36 days per node.
Objective:
* Unclog the network
* Reduce costs
* Democratizing validation
---
7/ And what about the old data?
Buterin proposes a solution:
A decentralized and redundant off-node storage.
Accessible to everyone, but without relying on the GAFAM
Web3 in practice.
---
8/ Vitalik also wants to change the gas dynamics:
Cheaper execution More expensive storage
To promote the optimization of smart contracts and make the network smoother.
---
9/ But be careful:
Vitalik warns against excessive reliance on third-party services.
Even with zk-proofs, he hammers:
> "Sovereignty begins by running your own node."
---
10/ This roadmap is much more than a technical evolution.
It is a strategy of emancipation.
Ethereum will not just be a scalable network.
It will be a global, open, and censorship-resistant infrastructure.
And it starts now.
