## 🏗️ Architecture Design
### Reth SDK Integration
Arbitrum-Reth leverages the latest Reth SDK using the NodeBuilder pattern:
```rust
use reth_ethereum::EthereumNode;
use reth_node_builder::NodeBuilder;
// Build custom Arbitrum node with Reth SDK
let node_handle = NodeBuilder::new(config)
// Install Ethereum-specific node primitives
.with_types::()
.with_components(|ctx| {
// Customize components for Arbitrum L2
ctx.components_builder()
.network(|network_builder| {
// L1 connection management
// Arbitrum peer discovery
// L2 message propagation
network_builder.build()
})
.pool(|pool_builder| {
// L2 gas pricing
// Transaction validation
// Sequencer ordering
pool_builder.build()
})
.consensus(|consensus| {
// L1 finality integration
// Rollup state transitions
// Challenge mechanisms
consensus
})
.evm(|evm_builder| {
// Arbitrum precompiles
// Custom opcodes
// Gas metering
evm_builder.build()
})
.build()
})
.launch()
.await?;
```
