Buterin proposes radical shift in Ethereum to reduce hardware requirements

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has revealed the latest phase of the Ethereum roadmap, called "The Verge," which aims to enable transaction verification on small devices like smartwatches. The phase combines stateless clients, which require less storage and can lower barriers to entry for users looking to participate in verifying the network, and cryptographic SNARKs, which allow users to verify data without downloading the entire blockchain. Buterin's goal is to scale Ethereum while also maintaining decentralization and accessibility. "The Verge" is part of Ethereum's long-term potential to become a highly scalable and user-friendly platform.
