@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ Ethereum's security—its resistance to external threats and censorship—comes
The Nimbus consensus client, along with the still-in-development execution and light clients, are designed to perform on a range of systems including Raspberry Pis and mobile devices, lowering the barrier to entry to run Ethereum's infrastructure. Meanwhile, our resource-conserving optimizations benefit those operating more powerful systems by freeing resources for other tasks, without compromising on reward performance.
Client projects that were earlier to market than Nimbus have typically developed for higher specification hardware, as one would expect from the first client implementations to serve a new, cutting-edge system like post-merge Ethereum. While their implementations make for a more diverse client ecosystem and their R&D efforts have pushed the space forward tremendously, there remains a gap for an Ethereum client tailored to lower specification devices that encourages increased network decentralisation. Nimbus fills that gap.
Client projects that were earlier to the network than Nimbus have typically developed for higher specification hardware, as one would expect from the first client implementations. While these other implementations make for a more diverse client ecosystem, and their R&D efforts have pushed the space forward tremendously, there remains a gap for an Ethereum client tailored to lower specification devices that encourage increased network decentralisation while delivering the same level of stability and reward performance expected from any Ethereum client. Nimbus fills that gap.
In addition to striving for maximum accessibility via lighter client implementations, Nimbus' design goals are to provide an architecture that makes it simple to embed Nimbus into other software. The Nimbus Light Web Proxy, for example, enables decentralised applications to verify data received from external RPC endpoints. Consequently, Nimbus reduces reliance on third-party software and service providers that introduce potential vulnerabilities through single points of failure.
