new research from @paradigm: How to Raise the Gas Limit ⛽⛽ lots of people want to raise the gas limit, but so far most of the discourse has lacked detailed quantitative evidence. that ends today. we are making the scientific case for scaling Ethereum using ultra-high-res data

gameplan: the gas limit touches all aspects of Ethereum scaling. this is too much to tackle all at once so we break the topic into multiple parts: - part 1 = state growth - part 2 = history growth - part 3 = state accesss - part 4 = gas limit today is part 1

for Ethereum to reach global scale, we need data-driven answers to all of these questions

in today's article we quantify the total amount of state held by each Ethereum contract and categorize the contracts hierarchically visualizing this hierarchy shows how much of Ethereum’s state is used by different categories like tokens, infrastructure, games, and defi

you can learn a lot about Ethereum by staring at this graph for example a huge portion of state is dormant, taken up by dead protocols also, the majority of state is occupied by user token balances
