just shipped: every .gwei name now gets a default website at (name).gwei.limo, which doubles as a blog where posts are published as ethereum blobs 😎

@donnoh_eth This awesome 😍

[smartprogrammer.gwei 🐌 @Smartprogrammer]

One would see this and think it is just for Hoodi fork readiness. then you look at performance, and this version is faster than the previous one by around 45%.
Just @Nethermind team doing Nethermind things.
#ethereum #Glamsterdam

[Nethermind @Nethermind]

Nethermind Client 2.2.0 is out. For RPC providers: faster responses that use less memory, and faster tracing on Glamsterdam blocks.

Mandatory for Hoodi nodes before the Glamsterdam fork on Oct 26. https://t.co/EZCiQyAZi4

[Nethermind @Nethermind]

Nethermind's @svlachakis_ co-authored Frame Transactions (EIP-8141) for the Hegotá upgrade, planned for 2027.

What Frame Transactions change:
An app can pay a user’s fee and get paid back in a stablecoin like USDC. Smart wallets can let users sign with a phone passkey or change their key without moving funds. Wallets do this today with extra offchain services. With Frame Transactions, Ethereum supports this directly.

We’ve built them into the Nethermind Client. See how they work in the video below.

[Kamil Chodoła @ChodoKamil]

Over the past few months, the @Nethermind Client team has been focusing on almost everything BUT performance - authoring, supporting and reviewing EIPs for Glamsterdam, championing Hegota headliner - Frame Transactions, researching state bloat, and much more.

That's not changing - we are still being heavily involved in Ethereum roadmap. But AI has unlocked a whole new level of productivity for us, and we're now pushing hard on several fronts:

1. zk guest program - coming soon to @eth_proofs. Very promising, very performant.
2. RPC refresh - Geth compatibility, major performance improvements, and more. Few projects already got a feeling of what we are shipping - and it is looking very good.
3. Client hardening with AI - Node MCP for users and our custom CoreMCP for developers, helping us ship faster and build a much more stable client.
4. Innovative node optimizations and advanced plugins - unlocking capabilities that could be extremely useful for many projects across the ecosystem, including support for new chains.

And that's just the beginning.

As a "side effect," we've also significantly improved the node's performance at the tip of the chain - before even getting into the Glamsterdam hard fork, which should unlock a whole new level of throughput.

Nethermind is the fastest #Ethereum execution client, and the only one pushing beyond 1.5 GGas/s in p50 block throughput at the tip of the chain.

With the next fork, we expect that ceiling to go even higher - based on Sepolia data, potentially around 3x higher.

And we're definitely not done.

We want to change the rules of the game. The AI-powered tools we've built in-house are giving us enormous leverage, and we're confident this advantage will only grow over time.

Performance is good. 🚀

GLM-5.3-Flash-EXL3 vs DeepSeek-v4.1-Flash-1017-EXl3 on 2 DGX Spark, TP=2. Seems benchmarks are truly strong. time to test it on real work. Thanks @MiaAI_lab for the recipe and SparkDash.

nethermind gets a gilded frame as the first client to achieve trace namespace harmony

[Łukasz Rozmej @URozmej]

We are considering removing our precompiles dependencies and reimplement them in C# as we can do it faster, avoid managed<->unmanaged code cost, avoid 3rd party dependencies and increase diversity (not all clients depending on same library that can have security issue).

[Ben {chmark} Adams ⟠ @ben_a_adams]

I built it instead 😁

Introducing LeanCIL - formal semantics for .NET CIL in Lean 4, with machine-checked proofs against actual compiled assemblies

Not just C# - a foundation for verifying F# and other .NET languages too

Let's formally verify dotnet

[Ben {chmark} Adams ⟠ @ben_a_adams]

I have a games industry background, where everything needs to fit within 16.67ms to hit 60fps

That mindset has carried over into other work

So now @Nethermind processes Ethereum mainnet blocks in 16ms at p50, on standard EIP-7870 hardware

[Kamil Chodoła @ChodoKamil]

"lead and adopt the same changes" in practice.

https://t.co/qfTP8JBeR8

Less than 12h between @Nethermind PR merged and Reth PR opened.

Hard to be unique in AI times - we expected that :)

What matters is who brings the innovation and that should be higlighted.

[Marek Moraczyński @M25Marek]

This might not be widely known, but @Nethermind improvements don’t just benefit our client.

Other clients often follow our lead and adopt the same changes, so we’re raising the performance bar across the entire Ethereum and EVM ecosystem. 👇

[Łukasz Rozmej @URozmej]

The fastest.

[Łukasz Rozmej @URozmej]

BAL's + @Nethermind crazy optimization in action on Sepolia. Expect even bigger throughput numbers when Block sizes rise up to 200MGas (and more!)

[vitalik.eth @VitalikButerin]

Nethermind continues doing excellent work and making Ethereum more efficient and faster.

[Ben {chmark} Adams ⟠ @ben_a_adams]

Nethermind Beacon Chain plugin ready and synced for the Sepolia fork 🚀

Nice bonus: running EL + CL as one app doesn't seem to add much memory overhead

[Łukasz Rozmej @URozmej]

Some heavy load on mainnet in last 6h, but our node didn't even budge

[Nethermind @Nethermind]

Mandatory upgrade for Sepolia nodes: run Nethermind Client 2.1.0 before the Glamsterdam fork on Oct 6. Your CL needs it too.

On flat archives, 2.1 adds an opt-in index that cuts single-transaction traces from ~7.1 s to ~28 ms, ~250× faster in our tests.
