# eth2
Rust crates containing logic common across the Lighthouse project.
## Per-Crate Summary
- [`attester/`](attester/): Core logic for attesting to beacon and shard blocks.
- [`block_proposer/`](block_proposer/): Core logic for proposing beacon blocks.
- [`fork_choice/`](fork_choice/): A collection of fork-choice algorithms for
the Beacon Chain.
- [`state_processing/`](state_processing/): Provides per-slot, per-block and
per-epoch state processing.
- [`types/`](types/): Defines base Ethereum 2.0 types (e.g., `BeaconBlock`,
`BeaconState`, etc).
- [`utils/`](utils/):
- [`bls`](utils/bls/): A wrapper around some external BLS encryption library.
- [`boolean-bitfield`](utils/boolean-bitfield/): Provides an expandable Vec
of bools, specifically for use in Eth2.
- [`fisher-yates-shuffle`](utils/fisher-yates-shuffle/): shuffles a list
pseudo-randomly.
- [`hashing`](utils/hashing/): Provides unified hashing methods, provided
be some external library.
- [`honey-badger-split`](utils/honey-badger-split/): Splits a list in `n`
parts without giving AF about the length of the list, `n` or anything
else.
- [`int-to-bytes`](utils/int-to-bytes/): Simple library which converts ints
into byte-strings of various lengths.
- [`slot_clock`](utils/slot_clock/): translates the system time into Beacon
- Chain "slots". Also
provides another slot clock that's useful during testing.
- [`ssz`](utils/ssz/): an implementation of the SimpleSerialize
- serialization/deserialization
protocol used by
Eth 2.0.
- [`ssz_derive`](utils/ssz_derive/): provides procedural macros for
deriving SSZ `Encodable`, `Decodable` and `TreeHash` methods.
- [`swap_or_not_shuffle`](utils/swap_or_not_shuffle/): a list-shuffling
method which is slow, but allows for shuffling a subset of indices.
- [`test_random_derive`](utils/test_random_derive/): provides procedural
macros for deriving the `TestRandom` trait defined in `types`.
