Gold Finance reported that Marek Moraczyński, the head of the Ethereum client Nethermind, posted on the X platform that more than 80% of the Ethereum full node disk space is occupied by historical records, so no data is needed to validate new blocks, and in the new version of 1.3.1, Nethermind is ready to delete the pre-merge history through the ERA file, and all teams have agreed to perform relevant actions on May 1. If you delete all blocks and all receipts and keep only the data needed to validate the latest block, the full node capacity will be less than 200 GB.
