Ethereum's Escalating State Issue Is Approaching a Crisis Point
State Bloat Issue: Ethereum is facing a problem known as state bloat, where the network's growing state—comprising account balances, smart contract storage, and application bytecode—becomes increasingly difficult to store and manage, threatening decentralization as running full nodes becomes more expensive and complex.
Impact of Scaling Improvements: Recent scaling upgrades have unintentionally exacerbated state bloat by increasing network activity, leading to more contracts and storage writes, which could result in a centralized infrastructure if only a few well-funded operators can afford to run full nodes.
Proposed Solutions: The Ethereum Foundation has proposed three approaches to tackle state bloat: State Expiry (removing inactive data), State Archive (separating frequently accessed data from older data), and Partial Statelessness (allowing nodes to store only subsets of the state), all aimed at reducing the operational burden on nodes.
Long-term Implications: The management of Ethereum's state is crucial for maintaining decentralization and resilience; if not addressed, the network risks becoming more centralized, which could undermine its foundational principles and affect who can participate in its infrastructure.
