Re-posting this from Reddit.
Ladies and gentlemen, we've got a brand new Ethereum execution client, Reth.
Currently it only supports archive sync, but they're working on the other sync modes:
Once it's out of alpha, this will bring our total up to 5 production Ethereum execution clients. Ethereum is the only chain where you can see this kind of diversity, folks. You don't get this kind of treatment with Bitcoin, Cardano or Solana.
Press release: https://www.paradigm.xyz/2023/06/reth-alpha
Isn't this the client that made the erigon dev (Artem) working on Akula to quit his project? I remember it having some behind the scenes controversy
Yes, I believe it is the client that killed Akula. But I didn’t realize that was controversial. I thought the Akula dev gave up just because the new team was better funded and his effort wasn’t needed anymore.
If you find out what the controversy was, I would be curious to know.
