What's up with verkle trees? We've been working on the conversion from the current merkle tree to a verkle tree. This is a challenging problem, because the amount of data is huge: it doesn't find in RAM, and needs at least a day for the translation to complete on a beefy machine.

The dialogue has been going on since 2018. We have been aware of these problems before they materialized, and fixes to address them are actively worked on, and on the roadmap. Look for "verkle trees" (the verge), "stateless Ethereum" and portal network.

Au contraire, it will cause execution clients to differentiate to find their niches: - Some will target archive nodes and block builders - Some will target the validation of builder-proposed blocks - Others will target specific niches No death, good old Darwinian adaptation.

2) The offline method: a few very powerful machines do the translation at a fixed block height, and then share the result with the rest of the network. Less powerful clients download the conversion and replay blocks in verkle mode until the head in MPT mode has been reached.

Stateless ethereum blocks have two more fields: a list of pre-state values and a proof. With these, it is possible to reconstruct a partial view of the state before the block's transition function is executed.

1) the option is known as the "overlay tree" method. The idea is to start with an empty, fresh verkle tree. Each block, a fixed number of values are copied from the merkle tree into the verkle tree.

What you see here, in my opinion, is the results of many factors beyond state size: pow requires more powerful machines, high energy bills mean that it's not cost-effective to run your own node, the protocol complexity makes it difficult to manage your nodes, etc...

Reading and writing work the same as with the overlay method, but no conversion/merging of the trees ever happens : values in the Merkle tree progressively become clobbered by values in the verkle tree.

The transition is decoupled from the conversion, so things can happen in time. Ultimaltely, this approach gives rise to a state expiry scheme: the MPT can be translated to verkle, and then "forgotten". "Resurrecting" values into the new tree is a matter of passing a verkle proof.

This being said, this pie chart - albeit scary at a first glance - doesn't show a centralization of the state: If the majority provider shuts those nodes down, it will be relatively easy to spin up a new machine somewhere else and sync the state from the nodes still running.

Reading the state means first searching the verkle tree for a key, and then from the merkle tree if it could not be found. Writing to the state always mean writing to the verkle tree.
