Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin detailed a clear approach to scaling blockchains efficiently. He explained that computation is the easiest to scale using tools like parallel processing and zero-knowledge proofs. Data comes next, with solutions like erasure coding and PeerDAS allowing lighter nodes to verify information without full downloads. State is the hardest, as it requires full transaction verification. Buterin recommends prioritizing computation and data over state to reduce centralization risks, a strategy reflected in projects like Monad and Ethereum’s upcoming Fusaka upgrade.
