The default --syncmode fast prunes old chain states and results initially in a database with around 20 GB in size.It is, however, expected to grow over time as the fast sync is only available once.--------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sync-Mode | Database | Comment | =========================================================================== | Light | 0.175 GB | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Fast** | 20.367 GB | Will grow consistently after initial sync.| --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Full | N/A | Wasn't able to sync this within 14 days*.| --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parity (Rust) Parity offers continuous state trie pruning.The default --pruning fast will keep only the latest 64 states by default.It's expected to grow at a rate of a few GB per year.--------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Pruning | Database | Comment | =========================================================================== | Fast** | 9.911 GB | Will keep pruning and stay at around 10 GB.

| --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TL;DR It's close to impossible to keep a full copy of blockchain and state on consumer hardware.Takes ages to get through the spam blocks with any of the implementations and consumes probably more than 100 GB disk space.Enable pruning, fast, or warp sync wherever possible unless you have the resources to support the network with a dedicated full node.bitcoin web browser minerAnd on a personal note: I burned several hundred USD in the cloud for finding out it's almost impossible to sync all the clients.bitcoin report goldman sachsFeel free to buy me a beer next time we meet :) up vote down vote Currently, the network is growing at around 1GB per month.ethereum current blockchain size

It's hard to anticipate how large it could grow and at what pace, but there are already efforts underway to implement state-tree pruning in various clients.These techniques will contribute towards so-called "light-clients".In linked chart above, Block size evolution estimating block size in bytes over time that can be used to estimate velocity (rate).The most appropriate graph depends on what you mean specifically by block growth rate.up vote 9 down vote As of today, ethereum blockchain (ETH, i.e.supporting DAO fork) downloaded in full mode occupies 75GB on my drive./ethereum/go-ethereum, running on CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511. up vote 5 down vote As of February 1, the blockchain size is ~940k blocks, with a new block being created every 17.2 seconds.This means, on average, the blockchain increases by 152,790 blocks every month.A rough average block size, at this time, is around 1,225 bytes.With this average block size, the blockchain size increase is 187MB per month (152,790 blocks x 1,225 bytes).
