Erigon is an Ethereum execution layer client written in Go, focused on efficiency, low disk footprint, and modular deployment. It supports archive and full node modes, embedded consensus (Caplin), JSON-RPC/gRPC/GraphQL APIs, and staking.
Use cases
- run an ethereum archive node
- run a full ethereum node with low disk usage
- solo stake eth with a built-in consensus client
- serve json-rpc api for a dapp backend
- migrate from geth to a more efficient client
- run a gnosis chain node
- query historical transactions and traces
When to choose
- you need an efficient ethereum execution client with minimal disk footprint
- you want archive data without massive storage costs
- you want an embedded consensus layer for solo staking
- you need scalable RPC via modular components like RPCDaemon and Sentry
When to avoid
- you need a lightweight wallet rather than a full node
- you want the most widely tested client for production staking (Geth may be safer)
- you cannot meet the hardware requirements for syncing mainnet
