Work Done

After having finished working on P256VERIFY precompile inside Revm, I spent some times working on some issues for Reth, Revm and Alloy, such as:

• https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/pull/4647: working on this PR to integrate BundleBuilder inside Reth in order to better manage the State of the blockchain inside Reth.
• https://github.com/bluealloy/revm/pull/738: move eip4844 points build script to a helper function and transform it as a CLI command. It needs to be merged.
• https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/pull/4656: I add a concrete implementation of TransactionProvider trait for MockEthProvider.
• https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/pull/4688: add support for EIP-4844 transactions when building a pending block through RPC calls.
• https://github.com/bluealloy/revm/pull/737: super easy PR for Revm to just add a little gas check in modexp precompile.
• https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/pull/4759: Reth is starting (almost finished yet) the process to migrate to Alloy types and this PR is a little step in that direction.
• https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/pull/4803: this is another PR related to the same issue mentioned before.
• https://github.com/alloy-rs/core/pull/308: this is related to the previous PR.

But, most important thing to add, I started working on a bigger issue for Reth, together with chirag-bgh (from EPF) and 0xprames (an anonymous contributor): we’re gonna build a reth crawler that is able to crawl the p2p network and save information on nodes.

Our ultimate goal is something like ethernodes.org but open source and with correct data (actually ethernodes data looks like it’s not 100% correct).

We already have our repository where we’re gonna build this crawler, be free to star it if you are interested: https://github.com/Keep-Reth-Strange/reth-crawler.

Near Term Goal

• Build an MVP for reth crawler that behaves similar to geth’s one. We already implemented a very super basic MVP that just crawles the network and saves nodes in a JSON file but it is very slow now. So the next step is to improve it a lot and speed it up.
