Sadly we cannot outcompete multibillion VCs who copy-paste our architecture and code (open source, right?). @AkulaApp is winding down and I'll be taking a break from Ethereum core dev for the foreseeable future.

We are winding the support for Akula project, explanation in the blog post: erigon.substack.com/p/windin…

Awesome work by @ncitron, happy that we have Rust light client niche covered as well now. 💥
Today we're announcing Helios, a fast, portable, and secure Ethereum light client written in Rust. Helios syncs in two seconds, uses no storage, and provides trustless access to Ethereum. Code: github.com/a16z/helios Post: a16zcrypto.com/building-heli… 1/8

Traverse entire Ethereum state - accounts storage for specific account - at any historical block - as gRPC stream. Coming soon, exclusive to @AkulaApp

Added Linux note on @AkulaApp website: akula.app/installation.html

GH @github has deleted repo of libmdbx, database engine used by Erigon family of nodes. Likely because of US sanctions against Russia and/or @ptsecurity. Welcome to brave new world. github.com/erthink/libmdbx

TIL Rust STILL has no production-ready bittorrent client. Started this for now: github.com/vorot93/libtorren… Alternative suggestions for broadband seeding @AkulaApp snapshot files welcome.

Trivia: @AkulaApp's JSONRPC support is based on @ParityTech jsonrpsee framework. github.com/vorot93/ethereum-… This crate can also be used as JSONRPC client. Barring bugs in jsonrpsee, it's 100% guaranteed to be compatible with all Akula APIs. Check README for an example.

it's Friday, wanna try something different anon? Finally got Otterscan @AkulaApp @sigp_io Lighthouse syncing post-merge sepolia and working in a docker setup. Lots of random error-ish msgs, but it eventually works. github.com/wmitsuda/one-line…

Happy to see @AkulaApp become the benchmark of Ethereum client performance. No BitTorrent-based sync as in @ErigonEth yet, but that will come soon enough. As well as block creation - 1B gas blocks on Akula and Erigon-based network should be very much possible.
