[Vitalik: The Proposal of User-Self-Stored Data with Only Proofs Kept On-Chain Still Faces State Bloat Issues] Foresight News reports that Vitalik Buterin commented on the community-discussed 'state expansion proposal where users store data themselves and only hashes and proofs are kept on-chain,' stating, 'The core issue with this proposal is that users still need to store and update the data required to verify the proofs, and its scale may ultimately be similar to the current size of the Ethereum state. While there are related solutions, these solutions often involve more complex components and require certain trade-offs compared to the current state of Ethereum.'
