The problem of historical data availability in EVM chains

Protocol Berg 2023 · 15 Sept 2023 · 39:29

Konstantinos Paparas, Lefteris Karapetsas, and Yabir Garcia dig into the problem of historical data availability on EVM chains, examining what happens as archive nodes grow too large for ordinary participants to run. At Protocol Berg 2023, they weigh approaches for keeping historical state accessible without forcing every node operator to store the EVM's full history, a challenge that bears directly on how affordable long-term data availability can remain.
