Will Ethereum Solve Its Node Centralization Issue in the Next 20 Years? š§
#Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin acknowledges that node centralization poses a significant challenge for the network. He suggests that addressing this problem involves making running nodes more accessible and affordable.
Currently, most Ethereum nodes are run through centralized providers like #Amazon Web Services, raising concerns about a single point of failure.
Statelessness, a key part of Ethereum's roadmap, aims to reduce reliance on centralized providers. Buterin admits these technical issues may take 10 to 20 years to resolve.
Beyond statelessness, he emphasizes the urgency of improving scalability as Ethereum seeks solutions like #ZK-rollups to enhance throughput and decentralization.
