According to a new report by Delphi Digital, a cryptocurrency research & consulting company, dubbed “Entering the Ethereum: Long-Term Value Potential and Analysis,” some of the latent technical risks experienced by the smart-contracting platform are highlighted and concisely analyzed. The technical risks include the size of the blockchain, Infura centralization, cross-shard communications and code vulnerabilities.
Size of the Blockchain
The size of the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain is now 188 gigabit (GB) for a Geth complete node and 2.12 terabit (TB) for the archival node. The report further reveals that the Bitcoin blockchain is about 200 GB.
“This is a problem because the larger the blockchain grows the more difficult it becomes to independently run a node, which hurts decentralization,” the report shows.
The report proposes state rent and storage pruning as short-term solutions and sharding as a long term solution since it can enable partitioning of the Ethereum 2.0 network.

This is the risk of creating a blockchain network because with this cryptocurrency runs smoothly.
If you just want to make it easier for a network it can't because all transactions continue to run properly.
