Buterin: Stateless Nodes Let Ethereum L1 Gas Limit Jump 10x To 100x

• Vitalik Buterin has highlighted the need to maintain Ethereum’s decentralization.
• Node operators must be confident of their security when connecting to external RPCs.
• Buterin is concerned about skyrocketing costs and potential security threats.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has highlighted the need to maintain the network’s decentralization properties while attempting to improve its speed. Despite acknowledging the need to scale Ethereum using L1 protocols, Buterin noted that maintaining a decentralized node operation is non-negotiable.
