History vs state. State is like the countries record of who the citizens are. History is the citizen’s birth and death records.

There will be a state expiry implementation.

The core Idea is to simplify the past and remove the complexities of the code. Make it easier to run a node and debug.

Removes gas stipends, precompiles, simplifies logs, removes RLP, and finds solutions for dust accounts.

One may need to provide Merkle proofs to recover old data through more centralized services that have the historical data.
