## 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.
|
|
|
|
## Development Status

|
|
|
Current development overview:
|
|
|
|

|
|
- RESTful JSON API via HTTP server.
|
