The 'Petabyte Chain' and how to survive it
This talk is mainly technical and talks about how we can change the network to make Ethereum's storage infrastructure to make it scale in the face of increased gas throughput.
It is based upon the following blogs in which I use Erigon as an example node to explore what a future node infrastructure may look like when the mainnet if processing at its intended operational scale.

As well as highlighting the main points from my blog discussion I will also discuss work we have done to make this vision real:
- A self maintaining distribution network for Erigon nodes
- Reconciliation of Erigon's data model with existing eco-system standards
- An example history network which decentralzes RPC provision
