Ethereum

So is there a plan that goes with EIP-4444 that will do some kind of distributed storage of all this old state? 

One interesting idea is a trustless bridge to Filecoin that automatically saves everything over there, with a way for arbitrageurs to feed it FIL and 1559 burn funding it

A smart contract on Ethereum that had a trustless ZK-snark bridge to Filecoin and would asynchronously store and retrieve data seems like it would be very useful. 

Ethereum blobs at 2MB/block and 7000 blocks/day is 420GB/month. All that stuff could be automatically archived for an extremely low cost.

We wanted eternal life, instead we got 140 new genders

In addition it would probably be a huge boon to dapp devs to just be able to asynchronously store and retrieve data. 

Ethereum is more like the "World processor" than the "World Computer" right now - it lacks a hard drive. 

Maybe someone should make a HardDrive() dapp!
