EthStorage - Scaling Ethereum Storage via Layer 2 and Data Availability with Qi Zhou

Reusing Ethereum mainnet security and extending Ethereum scalability are the major goals of Ethereum L2 solutions. Most existing L2 solutions such as optimistic/ZK rollups focus on scaling Ethereum computation power, a.k.a., higher transactions per second. Meanwhile, with the popularity of dApps such as NFT/DeFi/etc, the demand for storing a large amount of data reusing Ethereum mainnet security has grown dramatically. In this talk, we will present EthStorage - an Ethereum L2 to scale the programmable storage to hundreds of Terabytes or even Petabytes with 1/100x to 1/1000x cost. We will explain the components of EthStorage and the storage payment model. Finally, we will present some prototypes of new applications on Ethereum such as vitalik's blog, decentralized dropbox, dynamic NFT, etc. Qi Zhou Founder EthStorage Dr. Qi Zhou is the founder of web3://, EthStorage, and QuarkChain.  His interest is in researching and developing the future Web3 infrastructure, including sharding, data availability, and hybrid consensus of PoW/PoS.  He authors/co-authors several EIPs including EIP-4804/EIP-4972/EIP-5018/EIP-5027/etc.  He is currently working on decentralized access protocol EIP-4804: Web3 URL Standard, and EthStorage.io - large programmable storage on top of data availability and Ethereum layer 2. https://twitter.com/qc_qizhou
