# Etclient

A bare minimum Ethereum client built on top of SputnikVM (`evm-rs`)
and etcommon (`ethereum-rs`).

## Get Started

You can try this out by installing Rust and then run:

```
cargo run --release
```

Currently we have a full block validator working, and it is able to
sync the blockchain with the network. Note that the storage is
currently in-memory.
