# EVM chain history preservation

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note: This is a roadmap item that is not currently available. We are documenting it here to give developers an idea of potential use cases that can be supported by Hemera Network.

Ethereum's history growth is gradually increasing the hardware requirements for running full nodes. For long, Ethereum community has been working on [EIP-4444](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4444), which requires a solution for history preservation of Ethereum's full nodes. Similar needs will also arise, likely a lot fast, in high performance EVM scenarios, where history grows at 100 \~ 10,000X faster speed. 

As such, an EVM history preservation service designed in a similar architecture as in[ ](https://docs.thehemera.com/welcome/account-centric-indexing-protocol/example-hemera-use-cases/ethereum-long-term-da)[the previous section](https://docs.thehemera.com/welcome/account-centric-indexing-protocol/example-hemera-use-cases/ethereum-long-term-da) can be expanded to meet such needs.
