Reth
PluginPlannedRustETC execution plugin for Reth. Brings Ethereum Classic support to the modular, performance-focused Rust client.
What is an execution plugin?
Ethereum clients separated consensus from execution for Ethereum's proof-of-stake transition. ETC leverages this same architecture — adding Ethereum Classic chain support to the execution layer only. Execution plugins have no PoW consensus or mining capability. They serve infrastructure that doesn't need to participate in consensus: exchanges, RPC providers, block explorers, and indexers. Fukuii anchors the PoW consensus layer as the primary full-node client.
When to use Reth
- Exchanges that need ETC chain data without running a full consensus node
- RPC providers serving read-only JSON-RPC access at scale
- Block explorers and indexers that process historical chain data
- Infrastructure operators familiar with Reth who want ETC support
Planned — Post-Olympia Roadmap
This plugin is on the development roadmap following the Olympia hard fork. Follow the repository for progress updates.
Running a full node today?
Fukuii is the recommended full node client for Ethereum Classic, with native PoW consensus and Olympia support.
