Normalized claim
By around 2030, Ethereum’s state will consist of ~2 TB traditional dynamic state plus up to 100 TB of newer efficient state types.
A falsifiable interpretation, separate from the exact source text.
Resolution criteria
Ethereum client and explorer data (e.g., beaconcha.in, Etherscan, or official node metrics) showing total state size approximating those figures around 2030.
Market context
No high-confidence matching market is linked. Loose thematic matches are not shown.
