Empowering Users: How Ethereum’s Low Node Requirements Promote True Decentralization Over Solana
Duration: 00:07:16
Speaker: Diego Losada
Type: Lightning Talk
Expertise: Beginner
Event: Devcon
Date: Nov 2024
Nine years after Ethereum's launch, you can still run a node at home on commodity hardware, even low-powered devices like $185 ARM64 boards.
Why is this so important? Wouldn't Solana's approach, using more powerful hardware for higher speed and throughput, be better? We'll explore why home nodes matter for decentralization, credible neutrality, and global accessibility.
We'll also compare node requirements vs the Nakamoto coefficient as metrics for measuring decentralization.

An In-depth Picture of the Current Ethereum Network
This talk will show the geographical and ISP distribution of the nodes in the Ethereum network, the client diversity, the hardware requirements to run a node today, the power consumption, the storage load after EIP-4844, the block and blob network latency, the institutional staker distribution as well as the correlated failure analysis looking at EIP-7716. We will also show some projections on how the network could look 5 years from now, taking into account peerDAS and fullDAS.

Beyond the Surface: The Hidden Benefits of Client Diversity
When people discuss client diversity, they often focus on technical benefits like resilience to DoS attacks or preventing catastrophic errors like finalizing an invalid chain. But there's so much more to it! Client diversity not only spreads the responsibility of maintaining the blockchain across multiple teams but also brings fresh ideas and perspectives into the mix. In this talk, I aim to explore all the hidden benefits of embracing client diversity.

Decentralizing access to Ethereum utilizing Ethereum's Portal Networks
Accessing Ethereum in a decentralized way has a high barrier to entry for reasons of cost (hardware), knowledge, or time. These problems cause users to rely on centralized providers. A few examples on how Ethereum's Portal Networks will tackle these centralizing forces - EIP 4444's + Portal History will allow nodes to maintain current day RPC, well saving 800GB of storage. - Portal State will allow wallets to use a decentralized backend instead of a centralized backend like Infura.

Native Account Abstraction in Pectra, rollups and beyond: combining EOF, EIP-7702 and RIP-7560
Account Abstraction has rightfully become one of the most discussed topics in the Ethereum ecosystem. The upcoming Pectra upgrade is set to be the first one to improve EOAs by including EIP-7702. But can EIP-7702 alone achieve "Account Abstraction"? We will discuss the challenges and benefits of EIP-7702, and break down the team's vision for achieving "complete" Native Account Abstraction with RIP-7560/EIP-7701 and how it differs from ERC-4337 + EIP-7702.
