Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a full rollout of EIP-4444 and other short-term priorities to enhance network performance while maintaining personal node visibility.
The value of ETH has decreased by nearly 5% in the last 24 hours as it struggles to hold above a crucial support level.
The proposed priorities include implementing EIP-4444 to reduce disk space requirements, developing a distributed history storage solution, and adjusting gas pricing for storage and execution.
In the medium term, Vitalik suggests stateless verification to enable running an RPC-capable node without storing state Merkle branches, which could decrease storage requirements by around 2x.
