Have you ever wonder about how big is Ethereum Blockchain size? If yes, this article is for you. Today we will discuss about Ethereum Blockchian size and when did blockchain from 50GB to 100GB. Let’s find out by reading the article below.

How big is the Ethereum Blockchain size?

A blockchain is a single file that contains a record of all blocks linked together on a timeline. The blockchain size increases when more blocks are added to it through additional transactions. Mature blockchain networks may require several gigabytes of storage. For example, as of April 2022, the entire Bitcoin blockchain has a capacity of up to 389 GB. That's more than 60 GB more than last year. Ethereum, on the other hand, requires clients to download over 658 GB of data to sync with the blockchain database.

When did blockchain grow from 50GB to 100GB?

In August 2014, the file size of the Bitcoin blockchain, which contains a record of all transactions that occurred on the network, reached 20 GB (gigabytes). In January 2015, the size grew to nearly 30 GB, and from January 2016 to January 2017, the size of the Bitcoin blockchain grew from 50 GB to 100 GB.

I hope this article will help you to learn Ethereum Blockchian size and when did blockchain from 50GB to 100GB. You can easily buy terabyte (TB) storage drives off the market to meet your blockchain storage needs for years.
