Question

Confirm the role + position of Reth / Revm / Alloy. Five questions to consolidate the 11-lesson foundation. Reth = node, Revm = engine, Alloy = type foundation; learning order is Alloy → Revm → Reth.

Principle (minimum model)

  • Three-project recap. Reth = full node (top, binary) / Revm = execution engine (middle, library) / Alloy = types + RPC + signers (bottom, primitives).
  • Why Revm everywhere. Modular design + Rust performance + safety = adopted by Foundry / Reth / OP-Reth / zkVM / MEV bots / Hyperliquid as a common foundation.
  • Learning order. Alloy → Revm → Reth (micro to macro). Both the dependency and the pedagogy favour this order.
  • VS Code extension. rust-analyzer (official LSP). Without it you can't practically write Rust.
  • Reth vs Solana. EVM-stack edges are customisability + ecosystem + Rust safety. "Always faster" is wrong — raw TPS sometimes favours Solana.
