Reminder: the "blobs get deleted after 18 days" thing is super overrated.

So 4444 means that nothing is permanent on Ethereum? Seems bad to me. I guess permanent content should get sent to Filecoin or something maybe?

Requiring literally every node to store the whole content was always an overkill way to achieve permanence. I think each node storing ~1% of the data is probably the right balance. Making each ethereum node also a portal node by default would be cool.

Filecoin *definitely* does not work by requiring every single node to store all of its content. I think realistically for the Ethereum chain (incl blobs) we want a level of permanence that's somewhere in between "everyone stores everything" and Filecoin.

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
