SlimArchive: A Lightweight Architecture for Ethereum Archive Nodes
summary
Prototype SLIMARCHIVE implements a recorder, encoder and state generator to store flattened, transaction‑level deltas in a state temporal archive instead of Merkle Patricia tries, cutting archive storage from terabytes to 267.8 GB after 40.7 hours of sync and claiming 98.1% storage reduction. Compared to Geth and Aragon it reports ~19.0× higher state access throughput and up to 1112.5× speedup on transaction re‑execution, trading historical Merkle proofs for much faster, fine‑grained state queries.
