Now You Can RUN EWM On Your Laptop With The EWM Light Client

Remember the World Computer? It’s being built! No, seriously it will get finished and the Ethereum Wayback Machine (EWM) is a critical part of it providing verified Long Term Data Availability post state-purge. The EWM Light Client is a network of decentralized small nodes that prove the correctness of historical data for Ethereum. With your laptop, you can be one of the good guys and earn roughly ~25% APY!

A Lightweight Solution to Spot Audit the Validity of Data on the Ethereum Wayback Machine.

The EWM Light Client is a new and pivotal component of the Ethereum Wayback Machine, designed to ensure the secure, decentralized verification of Ethereum historical data. The EWM Light Client enables users to participate in the network without needing to run full nodes, making the network more accessible and enhancing its decentralization. This client plays a crucial role in providing true verifiability to historical data, ensuring its integrity, and contributing to the Long-Term Data Availability of Ethereum’s state history.

Why RUN EWM on Mainnet

Earn yield on mainnet of roughly ~25% APY

Running an EWM Light Client gives you yield that incentivizes uptime for the network.

RUN EWM Infrastructure at low cost

Block Specimen Producer Operators and Block Results Producer Operators have intense computational requirements, the EWM Light Client runs on your laptop.

Maintain Ethereum’s Original Vision

Technology like the Ethereum Wayback Machine and the EWM Light Client keeps Ethereum verifiable for the future sticking to the original vision that brings together fractured data while staying decentralized.

Launch Timeline

Phase 1: Devnet

Launch Date: August 26, 2024
Be part of the foundation. During this initial internal testing phase, we’re refining the EWM Light Client to ensure it’s ready for community engagement. The focus is on perfecting the infrastructure, making it possible for anyone to run the client and contribute to Ethereum’s decentralized future.

Phase 2: Testnet

Launch Date: September 25, 2024
Help Ethereum scale. In this phase, up to 250 participants will join a 4-6 week journey to stress-test the EWM Light Client. Your participation will validate Block Specimens, ensuring Ethereum’s historical data remains decentralized and accessible for years to come. This is your opportunity to shape the future of decentralized history.
