Gnosis has released a statement that it intends to move on from their current OpenEthereum project and suggest users migrate to their new Erigon Ethererum client.
Gnosis has been leading the charge to develop OpenEthereum by taking over maintenance of the important codebase over the last 18 months. Now, the company has announced that the development has hit a wall. Gnosis says that it is no longer a possibility to implement the desired protocol improvement, due to the limitation of a 200.000-line codebase that is more than five years old.
For the project to continue as is, a major codebase refactoring would be necessary but the process is very slow and would just cover up the problem, instead of solving the underlying issue. That issue is that of a monolithic architecture that is holding itself back from Gnosis’s so-called “modular client vision.”
