Mon, Oct 2, 2023, 12:00 AM

Join Georgios Konstantopoulos from Paradigm as he introduces RETH, a high-performance Ethereum execution client built in Rust, designed for speed, security, and long-term Ethereum resilience. In this talk from Pragma Paris 2023, Georgios walks through the motivation behind building RETH, its performance benchmarks, architectural breakthroughs, and the inclusive open source culture driving the project. From syncing a full archive node faster than ever, to RPC throughput and latency gains, RETH sets a new standard for Ethereum infrastructure. If you’re a protocol developer, validator, node operator, or Rust enthusiast, this is a must-watch. 00:00 Intro & live demo of RETH node syncing 00:42 What is RETH and why it matters 01:29 Motivation behind building a new Ethereum client 02:06 Ethereum's growing protocol complexity 02:42 Why client diversity is critical to Ethereum 03:29 Challenges of becoming a core developer 03:59 RETH development philosophy 05:03 Building culture: mentorship, feedback, async 06:11 Alpha 4 release and node IP for testing 07:17 RETH development stats and community 08:32 RPC latency benchmarks and performance 09:10 Archive node sync time and throughput 10:20 Database size and comparison to other clients 10:58 Creating load testing tools for Ethereum nodes 11:34 Performance engineering: profiling with flame graphs 12:07 Rust advantages for Ethereum clients 12:38 Security-first approach and open audits 13:15 How to contribute and run a RETH node 13:45 Call to action: join Telegram, test RETH _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🇫🇷 *Pragma Paris* Pragma Paris took place at the Pavillion Vendome in Paris on July 20, 2023, and was an in-person summit for builders and leaders in the web3 ecosystem.

Pragma is a one-stage conference with founders-only on stage, bringing together a small group of curated attendees and speakers to discuss the future of web3 and reflect on the past. Ever since we first introduced our new event series Pragma in Tokyo of the spring of 2023, we have been fostering a curated, global community of individuals who deeply care about web3. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ✅ *Follow Georgios Konstantopoulos* X: https://x.com/gakonst ✅ *Follow Paradigm* X: https://x.com/paradigm ✅ *Follow ETHGlobal* X: https://x.com/ETHGlobal​ Warpcast: https://warpcast.com/ethglobal Website: https://ethglobal.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ETHGlobal _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Are you interested in Ethereum development and entrepreneurship?_ 👉 Sign up for the next ETHGlobal event: https://ethglobal.com/events 🎁 Get exclusive access and perks with ETHGlobal Plus! https://ethglobal.com/plus 📣 Want us to throw an event in your city?
