The Ethereum co-founder has just proposed a new solution called \u201cpartially stateless nodes,\u201d and it could make running a node far more realistic for everyday users, not just hardcore developers. The idea is to rethink how Ethereum nodes work by letting users store only the parts of the network they actually interact with, instead of everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Node Problem, in Plain English<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Running a full Ethereum node right now is no small feat. It means downloading and constantly updating a huge amount of blockchain data, well over a terabyte and growing fast. That kind of storage isn\u2019t just a hassle, it\u2019s a hard stop for most people who don\u2019t have advanced gear or super-fast internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.1.0\/72x72\/1f525.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udd25\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"> HOT NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PiCoreTeam?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">@PiCoreTeam<\/a> |  Vitalik (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VitalikButerin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">@VitalikButerin<\/a>) proposes running an <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Ethereum?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">#Ethereum<\/a> Node right on your personal device <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.1.0\/72x72\/1f440.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc40\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"> similar to the PiNode model built by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PiNetwork?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">#PiNetwork<\/a>.<br \/>Vitalik is <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nkokkalis?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">@nkokkalis<\/a> student, and Nicolas is Satoshi.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Pi?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">#Pi<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/eth?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">#eth<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/btc?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">#btc<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jZNME9klgu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/jZNME9klgu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \ud835\udd4f FireSide | Pi \u03c0 (@fireside_pi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fireside_pi\/status\/1924838533774393437?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">May 20, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So what do most users do instead? They rely on centralized services like Infura to access the network. It works, but there\u2019s a trade-off. You lose privacy, open the door to censorship, and put your trust in someone else to give you the right information.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What Are Partially Stateless Nodes?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Vitalik\u2019s new idea is to split the difference. Rather than asking users to store the entire Ethereum state, partially stateless nodes would let them store only what matters to them, like the smart contracts they use or tokens they hold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">That means someone interacting with just a few apps on Ethereum wouldn\u2019t need to carry the weight of the whole network on their hard drive. They\u2019d still be able to check that transactions are legit and use the network directly, but without needing top-tier hardware.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This approach keeps people connected to the blockchain without forcing them to be full-time system admins. It\u2019s more realistic, and it could help bring node-running into the hands of regular users.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong style=\"font-size: 16px\">DISCOVER:\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/crypto-presales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 12+ Hottest Crypto Presales to Buy Right Now<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cutting Out the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Middlemen<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One big benefit of this shift is reducing reliance on centralized RPC (Remote Procedure Call) providers. These are the behind-the-scenes services that feed data to wallets and apps. If one of them goes down or decides to block something, you\u2019re stuck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"chart crypto-chart-instance\" id=\"crypto_chart_682d3a4a2858c\" data-coin-id=\"eth-ethereum\">\n<div class=\"chart__header\">\n<div class=\"chart__info\">\n<div class=\"chart__info-icon\">\n                <img id=\"crypto_chart_682d3a4a2858c-chart__info-icon-img\">\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-name\" id=\"crypto_chart_682d3a4a2858c-chart__info-name\">&#8211;<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-label\">Price<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-label\">Market Cap<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-value\" id=\"crypto_chart_682d3a4a2858c-chart__info-symbol\">&#8211;<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-value\" id=\"crypto_chart_682d3a4a2858c-chart__info-price\">&#8211;<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-value\" id=\"crypto_chart_682d3a4a2858c-chart__info-marketcap\">&#8211;<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__controls\">\n<div class=\"chart__controls-group\">\n                <button class=\"chart__button chart__button--24h\" id=\"crypto_chart_682d3a4a2858c-btn-24h\">24h<\/button><br \/>\n                <button class=\"chart__button chart__button--7d\" id=\"crypto_chart_682d3a4a2858c-btn-7d\">7d<\/button><br \/>\n                <button class=\"chart__button chart__button--30d\" id=\"crypto_chart_682d3a4a2858c-btn-30d\">30d<\/button><br \/>\n                <button class=\"chart__button chart__button--1y\" id=\"crypto_chart_682d3a4a2858c-btn-1y\">1y<\/button><br \/>\n                <button class=\"chart__button chart__button--all-time\" id=\"crypto_chart_682d3a4a2858c-btn-all-time\">All Time<\/button>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__controls-group\">\n                <button class=\"chart__button chart__button--logarithmic\" id=\"crypto_chart_682d3a4a2858c-btn-log\">Log<\/button>\n            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__container\">\n        <canvas class=\"chart__canvas\" id=\"crypto_chart_682d3a4a2858c-cryptoChart\"><\/canvas>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">By making it easier to run a personal node, Ethereum could move toward a future where people don\u2019t have to rely on these middlemen. That means better privacy, fewer single points of failure, and a stronger network overall.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fits Right In With Ethereum\u2019s Bigger Plans<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This isn\u2019t a one-off idea. Partially stateless nodes would pair nicely with other proposals already in the works, like EIP-4444, which suggests that nodes only need to store recent history instead of everything all the way back to the beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Together, these changes point toward a future where more people can take part in running Ethereum without burning through bandwidth or hard drive space. It\u2019s all part of a broader goal: scale Ethereum while keeping it decentralized and accessible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/best-crypto-to-buy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Top 20 Crypto to Buy in May 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Still Early Days, But Worth Watching<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This proposal is just that, a proposal. It\u2019s not something users can take advantage of today, and there\u2019s still technical work to be done. But it shows that Ethereum\u2019s developers are serious about making the network easier to use and run, not just for institutions but for anyone who wants to be part of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And if it works, the Ethereum of the future could feel a lot more personal and a lot less out of reach.
