Reth @ BSC

A BSC-compatible Reth client implementation. This project is not a fork of Reth, but rather an extension that leverages Reth's powerful NodeBuilder API to provide BSC compatibility.

About

This project aims to bring Reth's high-performance Ethereum client capabilities to the BSC network. By utilizing Reth's modular architecture and NodeBuilder API, we're building a BSC-compatible client that maintains compatibility with Reth's ecosystem while adding BSC-specific features.

Current Status

• Historical Sync ✅
• BSC Pectra Support ✅
• Live Sync ✅
• Run as validator ❌ (soon)

Sync Status (as of September 1st, 2025)

• BSC Testnet: Synced to the tip ✅ (780GB disk required for archival node)

Getting Started

Refer to the Reth documentation for general guidance on running a node and be sure to add these 2 cli required to start reth-bsc:
