re-Akula is a passion-driven side project initiated by two developers, Bartick and Tamaghna, who are deeply interested in exploring the complexities of Ethereum client software. With an ambitious goal of building a lightweight Ethereum client entirely in Rust, this project represents more than just a technical endeavor—it is a means of gaining profound insights into the architecture of Ethereum clients and contributing meaningfully to the broader blockchain ecosystem.
The project is named after the Akula-class submarine, a symbol of stealth and power. Just as the Akula-class submarine is designed to operate silently and effectively in the depths of the ocean, re-Akula is designed to operate efficiently and securely in the depths of the Ethereum network.
The project is heavily inspired by by Akula,form where it derives its namesake from . Other projecdts that have lead us to develop this is
The software is to be modular and to have simplicity while also being efficient
The first release is to be somewhere in the month of feb-march A complete working client is desired before the 6th epf cohort as this serves as our demo project for epf cohort 6 and also eth intership
