Glamsterdam will replace sync healing with state diffs, further speeding up Ethereum nodes
banteg · x · 2026-09-26
- Vitalik Buterin reminds that thanks to EIP-4444 and client teams' snap sync optimizations, syncing an Ethereum node now takes under half a day, with disk usage under 0.5 TB on aggressive settings.
- @neroeth adds that Glamsterdam will bring snap sync v2: the Block-level Access List (essentially a state diff) replaces the traditional healing phase, making node sync faster and simpler. Clients are ready.
