Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a new design to reduce the hardware burden for running a network node, framing it as a step toward a fully decentralized network that doesn’t require sophisticated infrastructure to help maintain.

Ethereum聯合創始人Vitalik Buterin提出了一種新的設計，以減輕運行網絡節點的硬件負擔，將其作為朝著完全分散的網絡邁出的一步，該網絡不需要復雜的基礎架構來幫助維護。

In a blog post published on Sunday, Buterin introduced the concept of “partially stateless nodes,” allowing users to store only a subset of Ethereum’s data, rather than the entire blockchain that clocks in at over 1.3 terabytes (TB).

在周日發表的博客文章中，Buterin介紹了“部分無狀態節點”的概念，允許用戶僅存儲以太坊數據的一部分，而不是整個以上的區塊鏈超過1.3 trabytes（TB）。

The proposed goal is to allow everyday users, not just institutions, to run nodes on personal devices. A node is an electronic device that connects to a blockchain network to help verify transactions and keep a copy of the ledger.

建議的目標是允許日常用戶，不僅是機構，在個人設備上運行節點。節點是一種連接到區塊鍊網絡的電子設備，以幫助驗證交易並保留分類帳的副本。

Currently, operating a full Ethereum node requires significant disk space, often over 1 TB, making it impractical for most users. While third-party services offer access to blockchain data, they come with privacy and censorship trade-offs, Buterin noted.

當前，操作完整的以太坊節點需要大量的磁盤空間，通常超過1 TB，這對於大多數用戶而言是不切實際的。儘管第三方服務提供了對區塊鏈數據的訪問權限，但它們具有隱私和審查權衡，但Buterin指出。

Instead, his new model suggests letting each node store only the data most relevant to the user, while verifying other parts of the chain on demand using cryptography.

取而代之的是，他的新模型建議讓每個節點僅存儲與用戶最相關的數據，同時使用密碼驗證鏈的其他部分。

The “local-first” approach mirrors a library system: you keep the books you use often, and borrow the rest when needed.

“本地第一”方法反映了庫系統：您將經常使用的書籍保留，並在需要時藉用其餘的書籍。

“This type of node would give the benefits of direct local access to the state that a user needs to care about, as well as maximal full privacy of access to that state,” Buterin wrote.

Buterin寫道：“這種類型的節點將為用戶需要關心的狀態以及最大程度地訪問該狀態的狀態提供直接訪問狀態的好處。”

The system would also allow users to configure what data their node stores, like common smart contracts, tokens, or specific apps, using a simple onchain setting. Users wouldn’t need to store Merkle proofs (the complex cryptographic trees that secure blockchain state), as only raw data suffices.

該系統還將允許用戶使用簡單的OnChain設置來配置其節點存儲的數據，例如常見的智能合約，令牌或特定應用。用戶不需要存儲默克爾的證明（僅保護區塊鏈狀態的複雜加密樹），因為原始數據足夠了。

The proposal is still in its early stages, but it could shape the next phase of the network’s decentralization roadmap.

該提案仍處於早期階段，但它可以塑造網絡權力下放路線圖的下一階段。
