TechFlow News: On January 27, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a post outlining the blockchain scalability hierarchy theory: Computation > Data > State. He explained that computation is the easiest to scale—achievable through parallelization and proof systems; data is moderately scalable, with technologies like PeerDAS enabling partitioned processing; while state scaling is the most challenging, as transaction verification requires access to the full state. Vitalik recommended prioritizing scalability strategies that substitute data for state—and computation for data—without increasing centralization risk.
