Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has unveiled a new proposal aimed at making it significantly easier for everyday users to run Ethereum nodes, by reducing the hardware and storage requirements currently needed to sync with the network.

In a blog post published Sunday on Ethereum’s research forum, Buterin suggested a shift in how nodes store and retrieve data, moving from full data replication to a more flexible, user-centric model.

Under this approach, nodes would store only the data relevant to the user, rather than Ethereum’s entire global state, which currently exceeds 1.3 terabytes, according to Etherscan.

“Currently, the overhead is impractically high,” Buterin wrote, adding that even with ongoing optimizations, the cost of operating a full node will likely remain out of reach for most users without specialized hardware or cloud support.

Buterin Proposes Local-First Model

The proposal centers around a local-first model. Instead of continuously tracking the full history of Ethereum, nodes would sync with only the relevant portions and request additional historical data as needed — similar to how public library systems share books across branches.

Buterin’s long-standing goal has been to make fully verified Ethereum nodes operable on standard consumer devices, even smartphones.

While he acknowledged last year that achieving that goal may take a decade or longer, the current proposal brings Ethereum a step closer to decentralizing access and reducing reliance on centralized service providers.

“Relying too much on a few dominant providers invites censorship risks,” Buterin warned. “There’s value in ensuring greater ease of running personal nodes.”

The proposal arrives as Ethereum prepares for its upcoming Pectra upgrade, described by core developers as the most ambitious yet.

The overhaul will lay groundwork for greater scalability and decentralization, aligning with Buterin’s latest efforts.

Last month, Ethereum Foundation researcher Dankrad Feist introduced Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 9698.

The proposal aims to increase the network’s gas limit by 100 times over the next two years, potentially enabling the Ethereum mainnet to handle up to 2,000 transactions per second (TPS).

Ethereum Has ‘Huge Opportunity’ to Fix AI’s Centralization Problem

Ethereum could play a key role in solving some of the most pressing problems facing artificial intelligence, according to Eric Connor, a former core developer of the blockchain.

Earlier this month, Connor said Ethereum’s “biggest mainstream moment” could come through its integration with AI, as the sector struggles with centralization, opaque algorithms, and growing privacy concerns.

“AI is plagued by black-box models, centralized data silos, and privacy pitfalls,” Connor noted, adding that Ethereum is uniquely positioned to address these issues.

In March, crypto venture capitalist Nic Carter of Castle Island Ventures pointed to two key issues undermining Ether’s value: the rise of layer-2 (L2) scaling networks and unchecked token issuance.

He argued that “greedy Eth L2s” are siphoning off value from Ethereum’s base layer while giving little back.

He also criticized the Ethereum community’s acceptance of excessive token creation, claiming that “ETH was buried in an avalanche of its own tokens. Died by its own hand.”

The Worldwide Asset eXchange (WAX) has removed the fee required to create a blockchain account through its Cloud Wallet.

Previously, new users had to pay 5 $WAXP to set up an account, a measure originally introduced to prevent automated bot activity. The removal of this fee is intended to make it easier for new users to join the WAX blockchain and encourage broader adoption by reducing the financial barrier to entry.

WAX stated that its blockchain “is stronger than ever” and is therefore making account creation easy and free.

What is WAX?

WAX is a blockchain network designed for high-volume transactions, with a particular focus on gaming, digital assets, and NFTs.

Unlike some other blockchains, WAX does not charge transaction fees, allowing users to interact with dApps and trade assets without incurring costs for each transaction.

The blockchain is built to support large-scale activity, processing up to 10,000 transactions per second. It has been adopted by various NFT projects, game developers, and digital marketplaces due to its efficiency and ease of use. WAX also offers a Cloud Wallet, which allows users to manage their assets without needing extensive technical knowledge of blockchain technology.

What’s next for WAX?

The removal of the wallet creation fee is one of several changes WAX has planned for 2025. Initially, the fee was introduced to prevent excessive bot activity and automated account creation, but WAX has stated that its security measures have since evolved, allowing the paywall to be lifted.

In addition to this change, WAX has is rolling out several upgrades this year to enhance its blockchain infrastructure, developer tools, and marketplace. The Cloud Wallet will receive mobile apps for iOS and Android, expanded support for side chains, Testnet environments, and EVM compatibility.

On the blockchain level, WAX is improving security and decentralisation, including quantum-proofing, decentralising its Random Number Generator (RNG) system, and making its Multichain Bridge open-source. Performance optimizations, such as RAM efficiency improvements, will help scale the network whilst maintaining smooth operations.

For developers, WAX is simplifying node deployment and expanding documentation to support dApp integration. Meanwhile, the vIRL Marketplace will undergo improvements to enhance the trading experience.
