You can do this locally though, it just takes like 200 GB. I've run an Ethereum full node + eth2 beacon chain node on my Macbook Pro for local development, took like 10 hours to sync IIRC and just worked afterwards. I still use Infura for projects though bc I don't really see the value in running my own hosted client for pet projects. If I was doing a production app I'd likely use my own w/ a 3rd party service for backup/HA.

A sister initiative, weak statelessness, means that you will be able to verify the validity of the chain without needing to store state at all. https://notes.ethereum.org/@vbuterin/verkle_and_state_expiry_proposal https://notes.ethereum.org/@vbuterin/verkle_and_state_expiry... https://notes.ethereum.org/@vbuterin/state_expiry_eip https://notes.ethereum.org/@vbuterin/state_expiry_eip
