### Goals
The purpose of this project is to work alongside the Ethereum community and
implement a secure, open-source Ethereum Serenity client in Rust. With the
focus on security, the goal for Lighthouse is to provide a trustworthy, well
tested, secure client that is resilient to any errors.
The purpose of this project is to work alongside the Ethereum community to
implement a secure, trustworthy, open-source Ethereum Serenity client in Rust.
* **Security**: Lighthouse's main goal is to implement everything with a
security-first mindset. The goal is to ensure that all components of lighthouse
are thoroughly tested, checked and secure.
* **Trust** : As Ethereum Serenity is a Proof-of-Stake system, which
involves the interaction of the Ethereum protocol and user funds. Thus, a goal
of Lighthouse is to provide a client that is trustworthy.
All code can be tested and verified the goal of Lighthouse is to provide code
that is trusted.
* **Transparency**: Lighthouse aims at being as transparent as possible. This goal is for
Lighthouse to embrace the open-source community and allow for all to understand
the decisions, direction and changes in all aspects.
* **Error Resilience**: As Lighthouse embraces the "never `panic`" mindset, the
goal is to be resilient to errors that may occur. Providing a client that has
tolerance against errors provides further properties for a secure, trustworthy
client that Lighthouse aims to provide.
In addition to implementing a new client, the project seeks to maintain and
improve the Ethereum protocol wherever possible.
