1/ Ed25519 verification is a major cost in Solana block replay. Mithril is written in Go, and the standard Go library wasn't enough for the throughput we wanted.

Today we're releasing narya-ed25519. 5.8× faster than crypto/ed25519 at 4.7 µs/sig (Zen5).

The multicore bench stats in the original thread were outdated and have now been updated

9/ Across 8 cores we measured 1.217M signatures/s, short of 8× the single-core rate because all-core AVX-512 drops the clocks.

Thank you to @Allnodes for giving us a free Ryzen server rental to test these Zen5 benchmarks on!

1/ Mithril v0.1.0-frodo is here: our independent Solana client written in Go is now an active validator on Alpenglow testnet, producing blocks, voting, and running full Alpenglow consensus.

Try it via the alpenglow-dev branch:
