Reth v0.1.0-alpha.5

Summary

• Critical: Fixed a bug where intermediate storage trie hashes for destroyed accounts were not removed (#4108 & #4126). Added a recovery script for synced nodes (#4109 & #4119).

Important

It is recommended that users run reth recover storage-tries (provide --datadir argument if applicable) after installing this release to prevent this bug from occurring in the future.

• Fixed future timestamp check post-merge (#3884).
• Fixed pending transaction ordering (#3955).
• Fixed header validation in block download during live sync (#4034).
• Fixed a bug where best transaction would be removed from the pending subpool when it's full (#4100).
• Started working on upcoming Cancun hardfork (#3807, #3906, #3911, #3928, #3931, #3933, #3940, #3943, #3953, #3972, #4010, #4074, #4084, #4105).
• Improved transaction pool ergonomics (#3967, #4053, #4101) and added support for private transactions (#3977, #4059, #4050).
• Active full (pruned) node work nearing completion (#3728, #3733, #3810, #3892, #3912, #4000, #4006, #4043, #4048, #4061, #4063).
• Various RPC fixes, features, and improvements, tracing in particular (#3852, #3878, #3908, #3914, #3921, #3923, #3997, #4046, #4070, #4076, #4077).
• External contributions for Otterscan support (#3778, #3861, #3886, #4007).
• Improved ergonomics of CLI usage as external dependency, made it extendable (#3983, #4022, #4087).
• Performance (#3950, #4037, #4039, #4062, #4096).

Reth v0.1.0-alpha.3

Summary

This release is a hotfix to alpha.2 with some small patches around node quality of life:

• Fixes Grafana/Metrics during live sync (#3671). We introduced a metrics bug in #3507 which made the Grafana dashboard look like it's spiking up and down all the time.
• Fix ExecutionPayloadBody encoding on getPayloadBodies endpoints (#3688),
• Can now run the node with --http.api all (same for WS/IPC) as an alias for turning all the supported JSON-RPC APIs on (#3660). Warning, this will also turn on the admin API which is unsafe if the node is exposed in the internet as it allows anyone to add/remove peers from your peerset.

Reth v0.1.0-alpha.2

Summary

This release includes a number of stability improvements and bug fixes. If you currently experience any issues with syncing Reth, we strongly suggest you update your node.

The highlights of this release are:

• Improved stability of the engine API, which improves the connection between Reth and the CL.
• Addressed a number of Out of Memory (OOM) issues, improving stability.
• Fixed issues with the RPC, particularly in the trace_* APIs.
• Added new metrics for the transaction pool, RPC, caches, and other components. Existing metrics were also improved.
• New metrics were added in this release, so it's highly encouraged for operators to update their Grafana dashboards with the latest version.

The RPC now listens on localhost by default, and metrics are served on port 9001 by default, which may require operators to check their current configuration.

Reth is now also available on some package managers. macOS Homebrew and Linuxbrew users can install Reth with:

brew install paradigmxyz/brew/reth

Arch Linux users can install Reth using an AUR helper (like Paru) with:

paru -S reth # Stable
paru -S reth-git # Unstable (git)

Finally, Reth's Windows builds have been fixed.

Added

• More metrics for the blockchain tree, which tracks the latest tip and processes incoming blocks from the CL (#3289, #3314).
• Implementation of eth_getBlockReceipts (#3321).
• New metric: reth_network_pending_pool_imports, tracks the number of transactions about to be imported to the transaction pool (#3344).
• New metrics monitoring the amount of messages exchanged between the networking component and the transaction pool component (#3345).
• Metrics for memory and CPU usage, including allocator statistics if jemallocator is used as the allocator (default except for Windows) (#3435, #3455).
• Metrics for the size of RPC caches (#3499, #3502, #3513).
• Metric for the total amount of transactions in the txpool (#3500).
• The bodies downloader now limits its buffer by a memory usage estimate, replacing downloader_max_buffered_blocks with downloader_max_buffered_blocks_size_bytes in the configuration (#3508).
• Flags to configure the transaction pool from the CLI were added (#3575).

Fixed

• eth_feeHistory now returns the correct block ranges and calculates percentiles correctly (#3288).
• The default transaction ordering in the transaction pool now compares the transaction cost (fee cap * gas limit + tx value) instead of the transaction gas cost (#3389).
• debug_traceTransaction now includes logs in the trace if requested (#3472).
• trace_callMany now executes transactions on top of the correct state. Previously, each transaction would be executed on top of the state of the previous block, where they should have been executed on top of the state of the previous block and any modifications prior transactions have made (#3437).
• The log address is now correct in debug_traceCall (#3481).
• Block rewards are now present in trace_block if requested (#3491).
• Sync metrics are now updated after historical sync (#3507).
• trace_callMany now includes storage diffs (#3549).
• eth_call now respects state overrides (#3589).

Changed

• The RPC now listens to localhost by default (#3299).
• Metrics are now served over port 9001 by default (#3295).
• The Grafana dashboard supports displaying metrics for multiple Reth nodes (#3336).
• Metrics for the invalid header cache have moved from reth_invalid_header_cache* to reth_consensus_engine_beacon_invalid_headers_* (#3468).
• The RPC caches are now configured by length, not size. This change renames some RPC cache flags on the CLI (#3505).

Reth v0.1.0-alpha.1

Summary

Read the announcement post for a full overview of Reth's alpha release

Last year we set out to build Reth, a modular, contributor-friendly and blazing fast implementation of the Ethereum protocol, in Rust.

Today, we're excited to announce that Reth is entering its alpha with version 0.1.0 under the permissive Apache/MIT license. We are inviting node operators and users to run nodes and use Reth's crates to build exciting EVM-centric infrastructure.

This release includes:

• A new Ethereum execution layer
• A new SDK for building EVM-centric infrastructure

What's included?

Reth can sync any Ethereum-like network (mainnet, Sepolia, Goerli etc.), up to Shanghai. Reth includes a new performant implementation of the debug_ and trace_ JSON-RPC namespaces.

Reth achieves state of the art archive node performance on the most important areas when evaluating a node:

• Storage: <2TB database size at block 17.4M.
• Syncing Speed: Bootstrapping the chain from genesis to block 17.4M in 50 hours.
• Robustness: Reliably tracks the tip without falling behind under heavy RPC load.
• Querying the chain: State of the art RPC throughput and latency.

Compared Erigon v2.43.0 vs Reth v0.1.0-alpha.1 on Latitude c3.large.x86 on RAID0'd drives.

Reth as a library

Reth is an ecosystem of high-quality abstractions for building EVM infrastructure. You can think of Reth as an SDK, with the node just being the first application.

We provide performant and documented modules and abstractions for complex operations like block building, transaction simulation, mempools, chain indexing, P2P networking, the RPC, and more. All packages are licensed under the Apache/MIT dual-license, for free, permissive use by everyone.

You can imprt Reth's various components as a library by adding the following to your Cargo.toml (replacing reth-db with your favorite package):

reth-db = { git = "https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth" }

See a complete list of our packages here.

We are looking to improve documentation, build examples, and gather feedback for additional use cases for Reth as a library. If you experience pain points, or have other feedback, please open up an issue on our issue tracker.

What's next?

While this is still early days, Reth already shows promising performance characteristics, which we're excited to further improve in the future. We would also like to make our benchmarking methodology more robust and reproducible by third parties.

The core Reth team is going to be focusing on:

1. Shipping the Ethereum roadmap, with Cancun & EIP-4844 as our top priority, and contributing to the Core Development process.
2. Improving stability of the existing feature set.
3. Shipping key node quality of life features, like non-archive sync and snapshots.

We will continue expanding documentation and testing of the codebase, to improve robustness and make integrations easier.

We invite developers and node operators to try out Reth and let us know what they think. Like with Foundry, our culture remains developer-first, devoted to tight feedback loops with a high bar.

We cannot wait to see what you will build with Reth!
