📍 Vitalik Buterin Proposes Ethereum Roadmap Update ( blog)

The main goal is to maintain the ability to run personal nodes even when the network load increases.

✧ EIP-4444 - Block history is only stored for 36 days to reduce disk requirements.

✧ Decentralized storage of old data - no centralized archives.

✧ New gas model - storage becomes more expensive, execution becomes cheaper.

✧ New node type - partially stateless node: stores only the required part of the state, works as a local RPC.
