Ethereum Node Sync Time Falls to Half a Day, Vitalik Says

Vitalik said on X that syncing an Ethereum node now takes as little as half a day, and disk usage can be reduced to below 0.5 TB under aggressive settings. According to Odaily, he said EIP-4444 and client teams’ optimizations for snapshot sync have significantly improved the process. He added that Glamsterdam will further improve node synchronization, including a new sync protocol for Nimbus that will use related upgrades.
