Erigon

Basics

• Started in 2017
• Fka Turbo-Geth but changed its name on 17-5-2021:

"Although turbo-geth still shares a lot of code with its parent, geth, this similarity diminishes rapidly. We are getting closer to the point where turbo-geth needs to be looked at as a completely different product, and not simply a derivative of geth."

Team, Funding, Partners

• Has two sister projects, Silkworm, which is a clean-room rewrite of Turbo-Geth in C++ another sister project, Akula, which is a rewrite in Rust (17-5-2021).
• From Paradigm (8-6-2021):

"Gnosis client development team Joins Erigon (formerly Turbo-Geth) to Release Next-Gen Ethereum Client: While putting greater resources toward this effort, Gnosis will deprecate the OpenEthereum legacy codebase and work on a migration path for all existing users."
