Bitcoin and Ethereum Nodes: Verification and Execution
This chapter explores the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum nodes in terms of verification and execution. It discusses state snapshots, archival nodes, bandwidth limitations, data availability, incentivization problems, and the discoverability problem of finding a node with the full state. The chapter also delves into the challenges of creating efficient snark proofs and introduces the concept of compressing transactions using recursive zkSNARKs.
