PANews reported on June 27 that crypto investment company Paradigm released the Ethereum execution client Reth 1.0, the first Ethereum execution client written in Rust and ready for production use. Reth 1.0 focuses on providing a stable Ethereum mainnet node, improving synchronization time, storage, and RPC throughput. Reth can fully synchronize an archive node from the genesis block in 50 hours, while other clients take days.
Reth was inspired by clients such as Geth, Erigon, and Akula. After a successful audit by Sigma Prime, Reth 1.0 is considered stable enough to be recommended for production environments, including Ethereum mainnet staking. Reth improves the block packaging process, reduces memory leaks, and optimizes resource utilization, allowing it to run efficiently in a variety of operating settings.
