The Nethermind client team is passionate about pushing the boundaries within the Ethereum ecosystem. Teaming up with the Ethereum Foundation, fellow client teams, and the vibrant Ethereum developer community, we're all working together to hit major milestones like The Merge and the Shapella hard fork, EVM Object Format (EOF), Proto-danksharding, and Verkle Trees. These initiatives focus on taking the EVM to the next level, introducing sharding, and tackling Ethereum's ever-growing blockchain size. Plus, our in-house project, Paprika, is all about optimizing storage engines for maximum efficiency.

By actively developing, testing, and collaborating with other Ethereum client teams, Nethermind is committed to delivering scalable and efficient solutions for the broader Ethereum community.

Client diversity is crucial for the long-term stability and security of the Ethereum network. It prevents any single client implementation from dominating the network, enhancing its resilience against attacks and promoting decentralization. A client with over 50% market share is considered to be in the 'danger zone' by clientdiversity.org. In April 2022, there was a significant risk of chain disruption. The Nethermind client has made substantial strides to boost execution layer diversity.

To further support client diversity and a robust Ethereum ecosystem, our dedicated core team equips our partners with comprehensive node setup tools, utilizing generated docker-compose scripts based on their chosen execution client and desired configuration for various network types.
