Ethereum
Full Node Size (Ethereum Mainnet): Ethereum's state data grows primarily due to smart contracts, transactions, and accounts. As of mid-2024, a full archival node for Ethereum can be upwards of 12 TB, whereas a pruned full node (which stores only the necessary state data) is 900 GB - 1 TB.
Daily Growth: On average, Ethereum adds around 0.5 to 1 GB per day to a full node. However, this varies depending on transaction activity and network usage. The historical growth is relatively steady but can spike with higher network activity, such as during airdrops or heavy DeFi activity.
State Growth Concerns: Ethereum's state grows primarily because it retains data on every smart contract, which is often referred to as "state bloat." Ethereum is exploring different mechanisms, like state expiry or stateless clients, to manage this. 0 reply
