According to Wu, Paradigm announced the launch of the Reth AlphaNet testnet, a compatible rollup based on the OP Stack standard designed to optimize Reth client performance and support advanced Ethereum research. AlphaNet's goal is to provide developers with an experimental platform to promote innovation and performance breakthroughs in the second-layer network.

The short-term plan includes the launch of a managed version, compatible toolchains, and new feature testing, while the long-term plan includes parallel EVM and optimization technology to expand Ethereum and its second-layer ecosystem. Reth SDK 1.0 is expected to be released in Q2 this year, when AlphaNet will be officially launched.
