We started building Reth in 2022 to provide resilience to Ethereum L1, and solve execution layer scaling on Layer 2. Today we’re excited to share Reth’s path towards 1 gigagas per second in L2 in 2024, and our longer-term roadmap for going beyond that. We invite the ecosystem to collaborate with us as we push the frontier of performance and rigorous benchmarking in crypto. There’s a very simple path for cryptocurrencies to reach global scale and escape speculation as the dominant use case: Transactions need to be cheap and fast. Performance is typically measured by the metric "Transactions Per Second" (TPS). Particularly for Ethereum and other EVM blockchains, a more nuanced and perhaps accurate measure is "gas per second." This metric reflects the amount of computational work that the network can handle every second, where "gas" is a unit that measures the computational effort required to execute operations like transactions or smart contracts. Standardizing around gas per second as a
