Maybe sharding is what you're looking for since each nodes only verify and store some transaction/block.
Curious. What cryptocurrency has implemented sharding successfully, and how does transfer of value happen between shards?
There are few cryptocurrency which claim using sharding such as Ziliqa (ZIL), but i never check the implementation in details.
Because what I want to know is, if miners/stakers are required to have all the shards, or trust their peers for the integrity of each shard?
