Questions for the roadmap

[yutianwu]

Hi, it's great to see the progress of block-stm implementation for reth.

I have some questions about the implementation:

1. do we have a roadmap or eta for the v1 and v2 for the block-stm implementation?
2. do we have a performance test for the implementation and how about the improvement?

Thanks for the reply~

Thank you for the kind words!

V2 is ambitious and TBD until we have a clear picture of how much resource we can put into it.

V1 is pretty close. We're currently in the testing phase and will sync Ethereum Mainnet with Reth on BlockSTM next week. Improvement numbers will be published soon afterwards.

We aim to release the first alpha version by the end of May 🙏.
