Vitalik: The goals of the Ethereum The Verge phase include achieving stateless clients, etc

ChainCatcher message, Vitalik releases the future development of the Ethereum protocol (Part Four: The Verge).

Key objectives are as follows:

• Stateless clients: fully verified clients and staking nodes that require no more than a few GB of storage;
• (Long-term) fully validating the chain (consensus and execution) on smartwatches, downloading some data, and verifying SNARK.
