What is CDK-Erigon?

CDK-Erigon is a high-performance fork of Erigon Ethereum client, modified specifically to work as a sequencer and RPC node for Polygon zkEVM protocol blockchains.

Development

Developed by the Gateway R&D team over an 18-month period, CDK-Erigon represents a significant engineering effort focused on performance optimization and usability improvements. The team has meticulously enhanced the original Erigon codebase to meet the specific requirements of zkEVM networks.

Production Use

The node implementation serves as the backbone for Gateway's L2 deployment offerings, and is the default node of choice in their Presto platform. Its proven reliability and performance in production environments make it an ideal choice for operators requiring stable and efficient blockchain infrastructure.

Key Advantages

• Specialized for Polygon zkEVM protocol
• Production-hardened by Gateway's engineering team
• Optimized for both sequencer and RPC node operations
• Built on Erigon's efficient architecture
• Continuously maintained and improved
