Vitalik Buterin proposes partially stateless nodes for Ethereum scaling

The co-founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, has unveiled a proposal to preserve access without confidence and resistant to Ethereum censorship, even if the network evolves.

On May 19, Buterin shared a message describing how to scal up the “more friendly” Ethereum of Ethereum to users performing local nodes for personal use. The co-founder Ethereum highlighted the importance of independent users performing nodes, saying that a market dominated by some remote procedural call suppliers (RPC) risks censorship.

RPC suppliers allow wallets, users and applications interact with the blockchain without executing their own nodes. Cryptographic wallets are generally connected to an RPC supplier behind the scenes. Buterin thinks there are risks for this configuration.

“A market structure dominated by some RPC suppliers is the one that faces strong pressure to move or censor users. Many RPC suppliers will already exclude whole countries,” wrote Buterine.

Vitalik Buterin offers partially stateless nodes

In addition to censorship, Buterin argued that reasons such as cryptographic solutions and fully -free metadata show that it is useful to ensure greater ease for those who manage a personal knot.

In the proposal, Buerin’s solution is based on a new type of node called “partially stateless nodes”. These nodes are designed to help users maintain access preserving confidentiality with blockchain data without the strong requests for resources for the execution of a complete node.

As Ethereum Scales and the gas limit increases, the execution of a complete node requires more storage and bandwidth. Buterin said that partially stateless nodes approach the problem by allowing users to check the blockchain and serve local data, but only store Ethereum state subset, according to user needs.

A new type of node to validate the blocks “without state”

The nodes would work by validating the blocks without state. This means that they do not require the storage of complete Merkle evidence or the history of the whole blockchain. They can selectively maintain certain parts of the update state.

This means that users can only configure their nodes to record data related to their accounts, decentralized financing applications (DEFI) and their chips commonly used such as stablecoins and ether (ETH).

The rest of the data will be left out and requests beyond the stored subset will fail or will be sent via an RPC solution.
