Vitalik Buterin Proposes Ethereum L1 Scaling with New Node Type

Ethereum’s co-founder just threw gasoline on the Layer 1 scaling debate—proposing a radical new node architecture that could sidestep today’s bottlenecks. Here’s why it matters.

The ’stateless client’ concept isn’t new, but Buterin’s latest twist—’ultra-stateless’ nodes—could let Ethereum bypass its infamous state bloat without sacrificing decentralization. TradFi won’t care until it moons, of course.

If implemented, this could slash hardware requirements while maintaining security—a holy grail for blockchain scalability. The catch? Devs now face another existential fork in the road: innovate or watch Solana eat their lunch.
