Re-posting this from Reddit.

Ladies and gentlemen, we've got a brand new Ethereum execution client, Reth.

Today, we’re excited to announce that Reth is entering its alpha with version 0.1.0 under the permissive Apache/MIT license. We are inviting node operators and users to run nodes and use Reth’s crates to build exciting EVM-centric infrastructure.

Currently it only supports archive sync, but they're working on the other sync modes:

Reth currently only provides archive sync. We intend to provide more granular storage and syncing options in the near future (like full node & snapshots), which you can track on Github. Our ultimate goal is to allow running a node with the minimal storage requirements needed for your needs.

Once it's out of alpha, this will bring our total up to 5 production Ethereum execution clients. Ethereum is the only chain where you can see this kind of diversity, folks. You don't get this kind of treatment with Bitcoin, Cardano or Solana.

Isn't this the client that made the erigon dev (Artem) working on Akula to quit his project? I remember it having some behind the scenes controversy

Yes, I believe it is the client that killed Akula. But I didn’t realize that was controversial. I thought the Akula dev gave up just because the new team was better funded and his effort wasn’t needed anymore.

If you find out what the controversy was, I would be curious to know.
