The whole side chain doesn&#39;t need to be stored on any node, only that incoming side chain transactions come with proof of funds with a root-branch-leaf of that particular source. The node will then incorporate that transaction and relay to other nodes, continually pruning the tree as leaves go empty. It makes for a heavier transmitted transaction message, but a basically zero storage footprint. Downside is needing to re-sign transactions that don&#39;t go through if it doesn&#39;t get propagated quickly between root publishes. The actual transaction can get thrown away once the tree is updated, so the node only needs Bitcoin and the side chain&#39;s root.
