Reth Expert — Production Engineering

Production engineering at L1 scale. 25 lessons across three modules: Performance & Systems, Production Engineering (custom precompiles + MPT + stateless + MEV + zkEVM), and Reth-based Chains (library-not-fork + op-stack-on-reth + custom ChainSpec + alphanet / Tempo / MegaETH case studies).
