Rust is one of the main languages for blockchain infrastructure because node software needs to be fast and handle untrusted network input safely. On Ethereum, Reth is an execution client from Paradigm, Lighthouse is a consensus client from Sigma Prime, and revm is the EVM implementation used by Reth, Foundry and many other tools. Foundry is the popular toolkit for developing, testing and deploying Solidity contracts.

Several chains are written largely in Rust: Sui, which uses the Move language, Polkadot through polkadot-sdk (formerly Substrate), NEAR's nearcore, Zcash, Grin and Nervos CKB. Anchor is the main framework for writing Solana programs, and Cairo's compiler for Starknet is written in Rust. Because these codebases are large and heavily tested, they are also useful reading for anyone building high-throughput networked services in Rust.

For Bitcoin, rust-bitcoin provides data structures and serialization, and rust-lightning is the Lightning Development Kit for building Lightning nodes and wallets. Diem, Meta's discontinued payment network, is still listed, and the Move language it introduced lives on in Sui and Aptos. The list also includes Kaspa, Holochain and other networks, and several projects publish their cryptography as standalone crates that are useful outside blockchains.
