Surge & Nethermind

Surge leverages Nethermind as its primary Ethereum execution client. Nethermind is a high-performance client designed for speed, efficiency, and reliability – all essential qualities for any rollup aiming to process transactions at scale.

Why Nethermind?​

Nethermind stands out for its:

  • High Performance: Built for gigagas throughput (as showcased in Nethermind v1.30.0), the client ensures quick transaction processing.
  • Efficient Resource Utilization: Nethermind’s optimized architecture helps reduce overhead, enabling Surge to handle large volumes of transactions without excessive costs.
  • Robust Ethereum Compatibility: As a proven client in the Ethereum ecosystem, Nethermind aligns perfectly with Surge’s rollup strategy, ensuring reliable execution for developers and end users.

Benefits for Surge​

By integrating Nethermind, Surge achieves:

Faster Block Execution​

Transactions confirm faster due to Nethermind’s streamlined execution approach. This leads to improved user experiences and lower latency for dApps built on Surge.

Optimized Resource Usage​

Nethermind’s low-overhead design allows Surge to process more transactions without incurring higher execution costs. This efficiency is crucial for maintaining a decentralized and cost-effective rollup.
