The road to efficient and stateless clients on Ethereum
At the core of the Nimbus team’s development philosophy is a focus on building lightweight, high-performance Ethereum clients to further client diversity and network decentralisation.
Achieving widespread decentralisation and the ability to trustlessly and reliably verify chain data on lightweight, end-user devices is aligned with the long-term vision for
Lightweight Ethereum Validators with Nimbus Execution and Portal Client
The upcoming Nimbus execution layer (EL) client for Ethereum will offer a performant alternative for validators of all sizes, and its integration of the Nimbus Portal Network client will only amplify these benefits, making running full nodes feasible for many lightweight setups.
(Yes, those running on 2TB drives, we hear
Efficiencies Unlocked by a Post-Merge Execution Client
The lightweight and performant execution layer client being developed by Nimbus will play a key role in improving the Ethereum network's decentralisation and resilience. Work on this client continues alongside the development of the consensus layer (CL) client, verified Web3 proxy, and client for the Portal Network.
The
The Portal Network: Optimizing Ethereum data storage
The Portal network is a content-specific distributed storage network designed explicitly for storing Ethereum data. Unlike generic distributed storage networks like Codex, IPFS, or Swarm, the Portal network can be optimized for the specific types of data it handles, improving data access and verification processes. This specificity allows nodes in
Unbundling the Nimbus consensus client - Part one
Nimbus has released a production-ready version of its validator client, addressing a key demand from node operators and advanced users. The client is highly performant and requires low resources, allowing it to run on a range of devices — from embedded systems to enterprise servers.
By default, the Nimbus consensus client&
Nimbus client 2022 year-end recap
As 2022 winds down, the Nimbus research team reflects on another year of building the infrastructure needed to maximally decentralize the Ethereum network. Here's our recap of updates to the Nimbus consensus client over the past 12 months.

Nimbus - Execution Layer
It is a little known secret that, in addition to our consensus layer (eth2) client we are building out an execution layer (eth1) client - with the objective that it should be ready for the merge.
Why is this important? One topical reason is client diversity.
