ethereum (eth) blockchain co-founder Vitalik Buterin expresses hope for the emergence of Verkle trees on the blockchain network.
In his opinion, the integration of the data structure will lead to a significant improvement in the disk space used by betting nodes.
According to information provided by the co-creator of ethereum, Verkle trees will allow the creation of many new types of functionality in addition to stateless clients, saving a significant amount of storage space required to run a node.
“They (Verkle trees) will enable stateless validation clients, allowing staking nodes to run with almost zero hard drive space and sync almost instantly – a much better solo staking user experience. “It’s also good for user-facing thin clients.”

Furthermore, Buterin is confident that Verkle trees will bring many benefits to the ethereum blockchain.
“Verkle trees are a data structure that can be used to update ethereum nodes so that they can stop storing large amounts of state data without losing the ability to validate blocks.”

An ethereum update called Dencun Update is expected. The developers said that the update will not happen this year as more work needs to be done. For most users, Dencun is mainly associated with ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIP) 4844 or so-called proto-danksharding. However, in addition to this, the update includes the implementation of seven more EIPs, which affect particular aspects of the blockchain.
