Akula

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 have a brand new homepage, courtesy of @chase_manning_ 💥 Check it out: akula.app

Awesome work by @ncitron, happy that we have Rust light client niche covered as well now. 💥

Reminder: Akula is part of @gitcoin GR15: gitcoin.co/grants/5933/ak… Every bit donated goes towards expanding our team and more ambitious goals to achieve.

Goodbye Ethash, you won't be missed. github.com/akula-bft/akul…

gRPC state traversal API is here. Please test. github.com/akula-bft/akul…

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

Someone was asking about parity_listStorageKeys. github.com/akula-bft/akul… Feel free to test while I'm off to fixing other stuff.

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

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

Akula is now listed on ethereum.org as a production EL implementation. ethereum.org/en/developers/…

⚡️Akula: An Ethereum Implementation⚡️ @vorot93 is joining @EthCatHerders on #PEEPanEIP to provide an overview of "Akula", an #Ethereum implementation in #Rust. 🗓️ Aug 03, 2022 at 18:30 UTC #ExecutionLayer

Trivia: @AkulaApp's JSONRPC support is based on @ParityTech jsonrpsee framework. github.com/vorot93/ethere… 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. #sepolia-testnet-akula--lighthouse--highly-experimental-" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/wmitsuda/one-l…

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.
