Vitalik released a proposal to adjust the Ethereum scaling roadmap, focusing on the introduction of the concept of stateless nodes.

Golden Finance reported that Vitalik Buterin released a proposal on May 19 to adjust the Ethereum scalability roadmap, focusing on introducing the concept of partial stateless nodes, aimed at balancing the contradiction between network scalability and node decentralization. This plan allows users to run nodes that only store partial state data while maintaining trustless, censorship-resistant, and privacy-friendly local access capabilities. The proposal also prioritizes the comprehensive deployment of EIP-4444, shortening the data storage duration for nodes to about 36 days, significantly reducing disk space requirements. It is also suggested to develop a distributed historical storage solution and adjust the gas pricing mechanism to increase storage costs while reducing execution costs. This adjustment is expected to ensure the viability of individual node operations while increasing L1 gas limits by 10-100 times, thus maintaining the decentralization characteristics of the Ethereum network.
