Lighthouse

A work-in-progress implementation of the Ethereum beacon_chain in Rust.

It is an implementation of the Full PoS Casper chain v2 spec and is also largely based upon the ethereum/beacon_chain repo.

Thanks to Parity for their excellent crates (e.g., RLP, ethereum_types).

Usage

Presently this is proof-of-concept without p2p or any functionality you'd expect from Parity or Geth. You can run the tests like this:

$ git clone <url>
$ cd rust_beacon_chain
$ cargo test

Contact

This repo is presently authored by Paul Hauner as a Sigma Prime project.

Best place for discussion is probably the ethereum/sharding gitter.

TODO:

• Implement state transitions up-to-par with the Python reference implementation.
• Ensure bls library is secure.
• Implement aggregate pub keys for BLS.
