Description
The EOS blockchain is growing in size, and it's becoming a problem. The number of BPs storing the full blockchain history has dwindled down to 5: Greymass, EOS Sw/eden, CryptoLions, EOS Tribe, and EOS Canada. In this episode we explore the issues with full history, including the vulnerabilities this introduces and the potential solutions to it.
