Possible futures for the Ethereum protocol, part 2: The Surge
(eth.limo)
At the beginning, Ethereum had two scaling strategies in its roadmap. One (eg. see this early paper from 2015) was "sharding": instead of verifying and storing all of the transactions in the chain, each node would only need to verify and store a small fraction of the transactions. This is how any other peer-to-peer network (eg. BitTorrent) works too, so surely we could make blockchains work the same way.

The title of this article captures the initial reaction many people have when they first learn about EVM Query Language (EQL). Although there are surface-level similarities between EQL and Dune, these two projects are fundamentally distinct in their goals, design, and use cases.
