Just a few weeks ago, we were 50x slower than the top Ethereum clients. Now, we're third in these benchmarks, closing in on second place. We just started focusing on performance related work. We're merging performance related PRs daily and steadily stabilizing Ethrex. We expect significantly better numbers soon.

I think the strategy of keeping the codebase simple and clean will start showing major advantages from now on when doing performance and maintenance related work.

All benchmarks will be released with code so anyone can reproduce the results. We're also starting to create testnets using Ethrex for different products.

If you want to support us an independent @ethereum team, please star the repo, it really helps more people discover what we're building.
