PANews reported on March 15 that Paradigm launched a fully verified stateless Ethereum node Ress (short for Reth Stateless) based on Reth, with a disk requirement of 14GB. Stateless nodes are not only crucial to improving the decentralization of Ethereum, but also to expanding L1 gas limits, expanding optimistic L2, and implementing Native Rollups to improve the security and interoperability of the L2 ecosystem. For a proof of concept, Paradigm successfully ran Ress-supported Ethereum stakers on the Holesky testnet and correctly proved block validity. Reth now natively supports the Ress RLPx subprotocol.
