What is the difference between Erigon and Geth?

Geth uses 3 Merkle Patricia Tries Transaction Trie, Receipt Trie, and State Trie, while Erigon uses a single Merkle trie. This structure allows Erigon to be more efficient. I recommend checking Erigon’s primary documentation for more details about all the features and functionalities Erigon offers, which are often updated.

What is Erigon based on?

As we mentioned, Erigon is based on Geth, and the team made some fundamental changes to the full sync algorithm and the storage system, allowing you to sync an Ethereum archive node much faster and using less disk space. Erigon improves sync speed by adopting a staged sync process. When Geth synchronizes a full node, it downloads the blocks’ data.

What is Erigon Ethereum?

Erigon is a Go Ethereum fork that focuses on speed and disk space savings. Erigon is an entirely re-architected Ethereum implementation that is written in Go; however, future plans call for it to be ported to other languages.

Can I use RPC endpoints if I don't have Erigon & Geth?

With the debug module enabled, you can use any RPC endpoint available if the node runs Erigon and/or Geth. But if you don’t have access to such nodes, Chainstack got you covered, of course. Follow these steps to sign up on Chainstack, deploy a node, and find your endpoint credentials: Sign up with Chainstack. Deploy a node .
