Vitalik: I'm really looking forward to Verkle trees, they will enable stateless validator clients

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on social media that he is very much looking forward to Verkle trees, which will enable stateless validator clients. This can allow staking nodes to run with nearly zero disk space and sync almost instantly, greatly improving the user experience for individual stakers, and also suitable for user-facing light clients.
