It maintains API compatibility with eth-utils while trading compilation overhead for runtime speed. The package depends on eth-utils, eth-typing, eth-hash, pydantic, toolz, cytoolz, cchecksum, and mypy-extensions.\n\nThe fork is kept in sync with upstream eth-utils releases and exception classes inherit from their eth-utils counterparts, so existing exception handlers continue to work without modification. It supports Python 3.10 through 3.14 on CPython and ships precompiled wheels for macOS, Linux (multiple architectures), Windows, and ARM platforms, reducing installation friction on common systems.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you already use eth-utils and want faster execution without rewriting code. The C compilation, active maintenance, and exception compatibility make it a low-risk swap. Install friction is moderate due to compiled wheels, but prebuilt binaries cover common platforms. No known vulnerabilities and permissive MIT license. Not worth installing if you don't use eth-utils or if your bottleneck is elsewhere."},"id":"faster-eth-utils","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/faster-eth-utils","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/faster-eth-utils.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/faster-eth-utils/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"faster-eth-utils","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A faster fork of eth-utils: Common utility functions for python code that interacts with Ethereum.
