Venture capital firm Paradigm has unveiled its first client for the Ethereum execution tier called Reth 1.0.
🚨 Releasing Reth 1.0 🚨
After almost two years of development and a successful audit by Sigma Prime, we are finally releasing Reth 1.0, the first “prod-ready” release of our blazing-fast Ethereum execution client. We invite RPC providers and stakers to run Reth.

"After almost two years of development and a successful audit from Sigma Prime, we are finally releasing Reth 1.0, the first ready-to-work version of our ultrafast Ethereum client. We invite RPC providers and interested parties to launch Reth," wrote CTO Paradigm Georgios Konstantopoulos.
According to the statement, after launch, the software synchronizes the storage of a full archive node with a volume of ~2.25 Tb in about 50 hours, provides "excellent RPC bandwidth and low transaction delays."
Paradigm recommends deploying the client on servers with NVMe SSD format, and when using cloud services like AWS, make sure that the channel provides at least 16,000 IOPS.
However, the developers noted that in the first release of Reth, the emphasis is not on performance, but on the stability of the software. The performance indicators meet modern requirements and will improve in the future, they stressed.
According to Ethernodes, the execution client segment is dominated by Geth and Nethermind — their shares are 47.96% and 34%, respectively.
