Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin thinks future ETH upgrades will make the network more decentralized by making it possible to run full nodes on mobile devices. In his speech at the Korea Blockchain Week event, Buterin touched upon the centralization and scaling problems faced by his project.
Buterin stated that the fundamental problems in the Ethereum network need to be addressed, and that the first of these problems is the hardware requirements of running full nodes. Currently, Ethereum full nodes are run on centralized servers due to their high hardware requirements, causing the network to become centralized.
Pointing to solutions such as “Verkle Trees” and “stateless clients” to solve the problem of decentralization, which is one of the main problems in the Ethereum network, Buterin underlined that such developments will make the ecosystem more decentralized. The statelessness concept aims to enable the ETH network to manage data more effectively.
Buterin also stated that staked ETH tokens should be distributed more widely and scalability should be increased.
