Our long term plan is to use and support upstream Erigon. We decided, in consultation with the Erigon team, to create a short term fork that we can test for stability and maintain. This is a short-to-medium-term mitigation strategy because Erigon is going through a period of rapid changes that will likely be breaking and not backward compatible. + Erigon is an implementation of Ethereum (aka "Ethereum client"), on the efficiency frontier, written in Go. ![Build status](https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)
