Decentralizing access to Ethereum utilizing Ethereum's Portal Networks

Duration: 00:22:54

Speaker: Kolby Moroz Liebl

Type: Talk

Expertise: Beginner

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

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.
