Ethereum execution clients

Execution clients are upgraded versions of existing Ethereum clients like Besu, EthereumJS, Erigon, Geth and Nethermind. These clients have had the proof-of-work components removed and now rely upon a Consensus Client to perform the functions of a consensus mechanism.

Execution client Default Port

• Geth 30303 TCP/UDP
• Besu 30303 TCP/UDP
• Nethermind 30303 TCP/UDP
• Erigon 30303 TCP/UDP

Consensus client Default Port

• Prysm 13000 TCP, 12000 UDP
• Lighthouse 9000 TCP/UDP
• Teku 9000 TCP/UDP
• Nimbus 9000 TCP/UDP
