Ledger on disk: Lowering memory use for a more scalable Cardano As Cardano grows, keeping the entire ledger state in memory becomes unsustainable for node operators. After UTXO-HD, other large tables still reside in memory, impacting node resource requirements. 💾 1/5
The ledger on disk project will alter the Haskell consensus layer design to move remaining large tables of the ledger state (like reward accounts and stake distributions) to a disk database. 💿 2/5
Implementing ledger on disk will significantly reduce node RAM requirements. This will make running a Cardano Haskell node more sustainable in the long term and is crucial for high-throughput solutions like Leios. ✅ 3/5

Nested transactions (Babel fees) – Allowing users to seamlessly transact non-ada tokens without requiring ada fees Non-ada holders face barriers interacting with Cardano. They cannot easily pay transaction fees, supply min-UTXO value, or provide script collateral, limiting accessibility. 🚧 1/5
