Parallelizing the EVM and the Challenge of Managing Active State

The EVM parallelization is a positive initiative, though there are concerns about its long-term sustainability. Real world data shows that parallel execution is not a bottleneck in the presence of substantial data, but managing active state long term remains an unsolved problem. Ultimately, as the state grows, managing the active state becomes crucial. While Ethereum faces this problem, Solana has prioritized blockchain performance over storage capacity. However, over a longer period, storage always becomes the bottleneck. Although Ethereum's optimizations can benefit other platforms like Avalanche, currently, storage is not the primary bottleneck.
