Full Bank Sharding Proposal and PIRDS Implementation Details
The proposal for full bank sharding involves nodes storing only part of the data by utilizing temporary storage called blobs. These blobs allow storing data for a few weeks, reducing costs compared to storing data forever. Nodes verify data completeness probabilistically by requesting proofs of data from the network. This approach aims to scale the number of blobs without increasing validator compute requirements. The PIRDS proposal is an early implementation of this concept, similar to working on prototypes for full bank sharding.
