๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ Note: Lighthouse is not yet ready to produce mainnet deposits. The developers will require some time to test against the mainnet deposit contract, once it is released. DO NOT SUBMIT VALIDATOR DEPOSITS WITH LIGHTHOUSE. ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ

Overview

Lighthouse is:

  • Fully open-source, licensed under Apache 2.0.
  • Security-focused. Fuzzing has begun and security reviews are underway.
  • Built in Rust, a modern language providing unique safety guarantees and excellent performance (comparable to C++).
  • Funded by various organisations, including Sigma Prime, the Ethereum Foundation, ConsenSys and private individuals.
  • Actively involved in the specification and security analysis of the Ethereum 2.0 specification.

Like all Ethereum 2.0 clients, Lighthouse is a work-in-progress.

Eth2 Deposit Contract
