OpenEthereum

Fast and feature-rich Ethereum client.

Built for mission-critical use: Miners, service providers, and exchanges need fast synchronisation and maximum uptime. OpenEthereum provides the core infrastructure essential for speedy and reliable services.

  • Clean, modular codebase for easy customisation
  • Advanced CLI-based client
  • Minimal memory and storage footprint
  • Synchronise in hours, not days with Warp Sync
  • Modular for light integration into your service or product

Technical Overview

OpenEthereum's goal is to be the fastest, lightest, and most secure Ethereum client. We are developing OpenEthereum using the cutting-edge Rust programming language. OpenEthereum is licensed under the GPLv3 and can be used for all your Ethereum needs.

By default, OpenEthereum runs a JSON-RPC HTTP server on port :8545 and a Web-Sockets server on port :8546. This is fully configurable and supports a number of APIs.
