Introducing Summit, a consensus client for Reth.

Developers building EVM blockchains lack a consensus engine that's both: ✅ Turnkey – easy to plug into an EVM execution client like Reth ✅ Fast – capable of sub-second block times

We ran into this problem firsthand while building Seismic. Consensus wasn't our focus. We just needed something that worked, and could keep up with modern blockchains. But we couldn't find a good option.

This wouldn't have been possible without the incredible work of @commonwarexyz. We use nearly all their primitives, and our architecture is heavily inspired by their Alto project. The Summit implementation and benchmarks can be found here:
