Buterin: Ethereum Node Syncs in Less Than Half a Day

Vitalik Buterin stated that an Ethereum node can now be synchronized in less than half a day, and with aggressive settings, it uses less than 500 GB of disk space.

EIP-4444 and Snap Sync Optimizations Lower Requirements

According to Buterin, the acceleration and reduction in data size were achieved through the implementation of EIP-4444 and optimizations to the Snap Sync mechanism.

The Glamsterdam Upgrade Is Expected to Further Speed Up Sync

Buterin added that the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade should further increase node synchronization speed.
