Vitalik Buterin Proposes Partially Stateless Nodes for Ethereum Scaling

Vitalik Buterin proposed partially stateless nodes in May 2025 to help Ethereum scale while maintaining node accessibility.
He introduced this proposal to address challenges from increasing the layer 1 gas limit, which currently makes running full nodes harder.
The plan includes completing EIP-4444 to limit historical data stored to 36 days and using distributed storage and adjusted gas pricing to reduce disk space needs.
Buterin explained that a frequent concern about raising the L1 gas limit, in addition to worries over network security, is that it could complicate the operation of full nodes.
These upgrades aim to double storage efficiency and enable wider personal node operation, preserving decentralization and privacy despite increased transaction capacity.

Vitalik Buterin Proposes Easier Way to Run Ethereum Nodes - 99Bitcoins

If you’ve ever thought about running your own Ethereum node but got overwhelmed by the idea of downloading the entire blockchain, Vitalik Buterin feels your pain. The Ethereum co-founder has just proposed a new solution called “partially stateless nodes,” 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…

Vitalik Buterin Proposes Updates to Ethereum’s Scaling Strategy - WorldNL Magazine

Vitalik Buterin has suggested changes to Ethereum’s scaling plan that focus on making it easier to run local nodes while still supporting Layer 1 (L1) scaling. His proposals come in response to concerns that raising the L1 gas limit could make it more difficult for users to run full nodes. Partially Stateless Nodes In a post on Ethresear.ch, the Ethereum co-founder argues that maintaining the ability for users to function their own nodes can be …

Vitalik Buterin Presents Proposal to Improve Scalability in the Main Layer of Ethereum

In the EIP-4444, the Ethereum co-founder proposes to increase the gas limit in layer 1 without damaging the operability of complete nodes, as well as reducing the data load that each should store, promoting greater decentralization. *** Buterin promotes a model of “partly stateless nodes” as a scalable solution. The proposal includes implementing EIP-4444 to lighten storage requirements. The goal is to scale Ethereum without losing resistance to…
