Nethermind

Nethermind is a high-performance Ethereum execution client built on .NET for node operators. Like Geth or Erigon, it syncs the Ethereum blockchain and validates transactions, exposing the same JSON-RPC API as Geth over HTTP, WebSocket, and IPC. Snap sync is enabled by default.

It runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS, with a built-in dashboard and Prometheus metrics for node health and performance. A plugin system lets operators extend the client without forking, adding consensus engines, transaction types, P2P protocol handlers, and JSON-RPC namespaces. Beyond Ethereum mainnet, it supports networks including Gnosis, Optimism, Taiko, World Chain, Linea, and Energy Web.

Install options include standalone builds, Launchpad PPA, Homebrew, and Docker images.
