**🚨🚨🚨 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. 🚨🚨🚨**
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Lighthouse is:
|
|
|
|
- Fully open-source, licensed under Apache 2.0.
|
|
- Security-focused. Fuzzing has begun and security reviews are underway.
|
|
- Built in [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org), 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
|
|
|
|
The Lighthouse team acknowledges
|
|
[`0x00000000219ab540356cBB839Cbe05303d7705Fa`](https://etherscan.io/address/0x00000000219ab540356cbb839cbe05303d7705fa)
|
|
as the canonical Eth2 deposit contract address.
|
|
|
|
