The Portal Network is here to realize the long-lost dream of light clients. Learn about the latest status of the Portal Network, where it is, where it's going, and how you can directly interact with the Ethereum protocol today without crushing your machine.
The Portal Network is a new approach to an old problem. How can we provide lightweight access to the Ethereum protocol? By spreading the responsibilities of a full node out across a DHT, the Portal Network attempts to solve this problem. We'll discuss the current state of the Portal Network. What data is available? What data will be available? How is this data validated? And how you can access this data by running your own Portal Network Node.
Works on Trin, a Portal Network Client written in Rust.
