Vitalik Buterin proposed a new type of node, called 'partially stateless nodes,' for scalable Ethereum network.
The proposal aims to maintain personal nodes' ability to provide local, trustless, and censorship-resistant access to ETH data as the network scales up.
These new nodes will verify the blockchain statelessly and store a configurable subset of the Ethereum state, allowing users to control their local access and data footprint.
Buterin's recommendations include EIP-4444 rollout, distributed history storage implementation, and gas pricing reforms to support the transition towards more scalable and efficient Ethereum nodes.
