Vitalik Buterin: AI Hardware Boom Makes Running an Ethereum Node at Home Easier Than Ever
- —Buterin's pruned Geth node occupies only 461 GiB
- —Full Ethereum node sync now takes about 12 hours
- —Disk requirements for a full node fell below 0.5 TB
- —The upcoming Glamsterdam hard fork will further speed up L1 sync
Why it matters: Lower hardware requirements make home node operation more accessible, strengthening Ethereum's decentralization and user privacy.
