REI is an Ethereum-based blockchain fork from GoQuorum.

Key differences from GoQuorum:

• Re-enable gas price
• Always use Raft consensus
• Change block timestamp unit from nano-second back to second
• Remove block rewards
• Miner receives gas fee from mined transactions
• Hard-coded block difficulty to 1
• Disable private transactions and contracts
• Support p2p for broadcast blocks to public nodes
