😜 @arbitrum has recently been focusing not only on performance optimizations but also on underlying storage. Erigon is a prime example. Running a full node used to require several terabytes of hard drive space, making it unaffordable for the average person. Now, Erigon has made storage accessible to everyone. Erigon's biggest draw is its "extreme compression." It's said to offer 25x more storage efficiency and several times better RPC performance than the established Geth client. Simply put, the same amount of data can be stored in a fraction of the space required. This is very attractive for developers, community organizations, and small teams who want to run a full node but are constrained by cost. Another point I agree with: Erigon isn't solely focused on cost savings or resource conservation; it's fundamentally designed to reduce the operational complexity of nodes, making them more accessible to everyone. This not only makes Arbitrum more cost-effective, but also more decentralized. The more nodes and the wider their distribution, the more resilient the system. Arbitrum now has three clients: Nitro, Nethermind, and Erigon. This isn't simply about adding another option, but rather a move towards true diversification and risk resistance. A stable system can't rely on everyone running the same client; a single failure would devastate the system. With these combinations, Arbitrum's foundation has been significantly strengthened.
