## AI overview

The article revises Ethereum 1.x's Tech Tree around reGenesis and other milestones that could provide a more attainable mid-term step toward Stateless Ethereum. It also discusses static state networks, code merkleization, binary trie state representation, and the transition challenges involved.

This week we're revising the Tech Tree to reflect some new major milestones to Ethereum 1.x R&D that are not quite a complete realization of Stateless Ethereum, but much more reasonably attainable in the mid-term. The most significant addition to the tech tree is Alexey's reGenesis proposal. This is far...
