π¦ Ethrex Release β V4.0.0
Path based is here!
This release changes our internal trie database to be path-based as opposed to hash-based. The result?
β‘οΈ Faster reads during execution
π ~15x reduction in DB daily size growth
It also includes many performance upgrades and new
Performance Update β July 25, 2025 β‘οΈ
Big win this week! We boosted precompile performance by skipping the stack frame build before execution, resulting in ~50% speedups for SHA and ~30% for ECMUL and RIPEMD.
This also makes it clear which precompiles need improving, like
