There’s still quite a bit of work ahead, but progress is strong in the performance front. We’re already outperforming every client except for reth in every opcode (we still need to merge a few exploratory PRs to make it faster than nethermind in transfers). In addition to ongoing performance improvements, we need to enhance the p2p crates and revisit our concurrency model. We should have all this merged in the upcoming month. We’re getting very close to delivering a new execution client for @ethereum that can also function as an L2 stack. - Lean and modular codebase: Small, straightforward, avoids overengineering, minimal macros, traits, and crates for maximum clarity and performance. - L2 mode: Supports multiple RISC-V provers, includes an early version of based sequencing, and more. Let's go @ethrex_client.
