Nethermind has appointed Alvin Su, @realAlvinSu, as Chief Executive Officer, effective September 14. Daniel Celeda, @_D4nie1_, steps down as CEO to focus fully on the CTO role, following his decision that the growing demands of company leadership and the pace of change in AI and engineering require dedicated focus. He has chosen to concentrate on the areas where he believes he can contribute most. Alvin Su, who has been with Nethermind for over three years and has been instrumental in driving client relationships and expanding Nethermind’s commercial offer, takes on the CEO role. As demand grows for partners combining deep protocol expertise with institutional-grade execution, Alvin will lead the next stage of Nethermind’s development. Full announcement:

Nethermind 2.0.0 Release Candidate is live and ready for testing. This is the full package for node operators: snap sync, an archive node sized for real hardware, fast processing at the chain tip, and RPC built for heavy traffic. RPC is 27% quicker, with no change in accuracy. If your infra leans on RPC, this release is for you. More goodies in the release notes:

Nethermind will be at @Sibos Miami. Over 10,000 people who move money for a living, with tokenized deposits, stablecoins in correspondent banking, and custody in a tokenized world on the agenda. All of it runs on somebody's infrastructure. We build one of the two execution clients most of Ethereum runs on, and the controls institutions need on top of that layer, on any chain. In Miami all week, September 28 to October 1, at the @lfdecentralized booth. Come talk about whose node your transactions actually flow through.

Nethermind Client got significantly faster. We replayed real mainnet blocks: block processing is 20% faster on AMD, 28% faster on ARM. On a batch of eth_call queries, latency dropped 28% on AMD and 34% on ARM. And these are optimizations on top of a much bigger change: FlatDB, a rework of how the client stores state that's becoming the default soon. Always tuning.
