Vitalik Buterin Outlines Blockchain Scaling Hierarchy: Computation Easier Than State Management

TLDR: Computation proves most scalable through parallel processing, hints, and cryptographic proofs without architecture changes.  Data availability sits in middle tier, allowing erasure coding and graceful degradation despite strict guarantee requirements.  State management presents hardest scaling challenge as transaction verification demands access to complete network state.  Buterin advises replacing state with data and data with [...]
