Work Done

• https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/pull/4647: I kept worked on this PR about integrating the BundleBuilder inside Reth. It is almost done, just some little review left.

• https://github.com/bluealloy/revm/pull/792: this PR was necessary for the first one to be merged. I simply added a getter function for the states field of the BundleBuilder.

• https://github.com/Keep-Reth-Strange/reth-crawler: my main work this week is related to this project (I am doing this together with 0xprames which is an anonymous contributor of Reth). In particular we did the following:

  • complete the crawler with all the logic needed for crawl the p2p network using Reth network modules.
  • create figma workflow of how our crawler works (and also for geth’s one, just to highlight the differences). I will later add them in my project proposal file!
  • create a postgres database in order to save collected peers and delete duplicates.
  • use clap crate to create a CLI parser that accepts a --save-to-json flag that let you not use the db and just save peers into a locally created json file named peers_data.json.
  • start working on a server api in order to be able to later create a frontend dashboard to gracefully display all the data we collect

  → Right now we collected more than 10.000 unique peers. It’s important to note that this project is not only important because it shows how modular is the Reth codebase but also because it shows how inaccurate and outdated are ethernodes.org data. Stay tuned for updates.

Near Term Goal

• finish the work related to the api server.
• generalize the database.
• create a little frontend in order to be able to show our data in a good way to people.
