Description

Most of Ethereum's state is dead weight. A decade of mainnet data shows that most storage slots get written once and never touched again, and a handful of contracts account for the bulk of state growth. This talk digs into who uses state, how, and what the actual access patterns look like. The data tells a clear story, and it should change how we think about protocol design.
