Verkle Trees Vs STARKs: Which of the 2 ultimate routes to Ethereum stateless validation is better?
1 min read
Ethereum’s network could progress towards stateless validation as its data storage and verification needs grow. Co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposes 2 solutions for this transition—Verkle trees and STARKs. While both approaches make block verification more efficient and accessible, there are trade-offs regarding security, efficiency, and implementation complexity. How STARKs weigh as an alternative to Verkle Trees?
