In continuation to exploring Reth, I was able to understand better the design rationale behind reth. It has become mandatory to operate a consensus client alongside the execution client to connect to any "post-Merge" network. This change occurred because the Ethereum execution layer now delegates the responsibility of consensus to a separate component called the consensus client. Execution clients handle block and transaction execution and validation, whereas consensus clients decide which of these valid blocks form part of the blockchain. Consequently, running both an execution client and a consensus client in tandem is vital to ensure synchronization and active participation in the network. Next Steps Delving deep into the codebase to understand the implementations of the ethereum specification and what allows Reth to be faster when measured against other clients.

Intro Hey guys :wave: I’m Abims,stoked to be participating in the ethereum protocol fellowhip, the aim is to get hands on practical experience in protocol development ny working on intersting concepts around consensus and execution layer implemenetation in rust. Plan I am going through some materials form the reading list to set the right foundations in order to be able to make meaningful contributions during and after the fellowship. While doing that i am most drawn to Reth hopefully i will be able to clear some issues on the repo.
