Odometer

A tool for benchmarking Ethereum clients.

Warning

This tool is under active development and the benchmarking methodology has not yet been thoroughly reviewed. Results should be interpreted with caution.

Prerequisites

Docker required.

Usage

• Start up docker cli

• Run the binary using one of these commands:

  cargo run                    # Run tests for all clients
  cargo run --client geth      # Run tests for geth only
  cargo run --client reth      # Run tests for reth only

  You can use -c as a shorter alternative to --client.
