Web3 investment firm Paradigm has launched an Ethereum implementation in Rust, according to an announcement Dec. 7 from Georgios Konstantopoulos. Head of the company’s technology office Named “Reth,” the new software will allow Ethereum validators to run nodes using Rust instead of Go, Java, or any other language.
In the declaration Konstantopoulos stated that the software was released for “[สนับสนุน] stability of Ethereum by improving the variety of clients” as well as providing node software that works well.
In the Ethereum developer community, “client diversity” refers to the idea that there should be no particular version of node software dominating the network. The developer believes that if one version of software is dominated, This can lead to network instability from bugs or exploits. According to the Ethereum documentation sayas follows:
“There are several clients developed and maintained independently. As client diversity makes the network more resilient to attacks and bugs, having multiple clients is a unique strength of Ethereum. However, having multiple clients alone is not enough. Because the community has to adopt those clients. and all active nodes are distributed relatively evenly.”
More than 80% of Ethereum validators currently use Geth, a version of Ethereum written in Go, according to the document, this percentage is “problematic” for the network.
Reth’s developers admit that Geth’s dominance is problematic. In a blog post theysay : “The Ethereum protocol benefits from a variety of clients. when no client has more than 66% power […] And with Reth, we hope to increase the number of clients in the ecosystem to contribute to network integrity.”
