Rust Beacon Chain

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.

Usage

Presently this is just a bunch of data structures and some tests.

$ git clone --recurse-submodules <url>
$ cd rust_beacon_chain
$ cargo test

Note: don't forget to clone/pull with respect to submodules. Parity is included as a submodule so we can use their handy RLP module without compiling all the things.

Contact

This repo is presently authored by Paul Hauner (@paulhauner) as a Sigma Prime project.

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

TODO:

• Implement crystallized state.
• Implement state transition.
• Implement integration tests (some unit tests are implemented now).
• Implement RLP serialization across-the-board.
• Ensure bls library is legit (i.e., functioning and secure).
• Implement the things, optimise them & scale to 1000000000 nodes.
