Vitalik: you can now sync an Ethereum node within half a day, and with aggressive settings it takes under half a terabyte of disk
07:01, thanks to EIP-4444 and client teams' snap sync work, with Glamsterdam improving sync further.
Lighter nodes
nero_eth: Glamsterdam takes snap sync to the next level
08:15, with snap v2 using the block-level access list, a state diff, to replace the traditional healing phase; nero_eth: EIP-7928 is approaching the final mile, 18:18, with significant throughput gains from parallelism and compatibility with zkEVMs, partially stateful nodes and inclusion lists.

Vitalik: PeerDAS running for nearly a year with basically no problems is an underappreciated triumph of client developers

Account authorization
Magicians: ERC-8427 portable spend grants
00:26 (tankcdr), where a principal registers a multi-asset spend grant with per-call, trailing-window and lifetime caps in an immutable registry and the delegate holds only the grant's id; it requires ERC-1271, EIP-7702 and others, with an ERC PR.
