# op-reth for node operators

> op-reth is the OP Stack execution client built on reth. Start here to run it alongside a rollup node and to find its CLI reference.

`op-reth` is the [OP Stack](https://docs.optimism.io/) execution client built on [reth](https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth). It provides a high-performance execution layer for Optimism and all OP Stack chains.

## Features

* **Full OP Stack support** — Deposit transactions, L2-specific fee handling, and all OP Stack protocol changes.
* **Superchain Registry** — Built-in support for all chains in the [superchain registry](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/superchain-registry). Use `--chain unichain`, `--chain base`, etc.
* **High performance** — Built on reth's modular architecture with parallelized execution and efficient storage.

## Getting started

* [Execution client configuration](/node-operators/guides/configuration/execution-clients): install op-reth, pair it with a consensus client, and set the OP Stack specific flags.
* [Running a Node With Docker](/node-operators/tutorials/node-from-docker): bring up op-reth and op-node from the official images.
* [Sync OP Mainnet](/node-operators/op-reth/run/faq/sync-op-mainnet) — Import Bedrock state and sync OP Mainnet from scratch.
* [Understanding the op-reth CLI](/node-operators/op-reth/cli/overview) — How the commands, chain selection, and configuration fit together.
* [CLI Reference](/node-operators/op-reth/cli/op-reth) — Full command-line reference for op-reth.
