|
|
|
|

|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Lighthouse is:
|
|
|
|
- Fully open-source, licensed under Apache 2.0.
|
|
- Security-focused, fuzzing has begun and security reviews are planned
|
|
for late-2019.
|
|
- 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 working to promote an inter-operable, multi-client Ethereum 2.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Development Status
|
|
|
|
Lighthouse, like all Ethereum 2.0 clients, is a work-in-progress. Instructions
|
|
are provided for running the client, however these instructions are designed
|
|
for developers and researchers working on the project. We do not (yet) provide
|
|
user-facing functionality.
|
|
|
|
Current development overview:
|
|
|
|
- Specification `v0.8.1` implemented, optimized and passing test vectors.
|
|
- Rust-native libp2p with Gossipsub and Discv5.
|
|
- Metrics via Prometheus.
|
|
- Basic gRPC API, soon to be replaced with RESTful HTTP/JSON.
|
|
|
|
### Roadmap
|
|
|
|
- **Early-September 2019**: `lighthouse-0.0.1` release: A stable testnet for
|
|
developers with a useful HTTP API.
|
|
- **September 2019**: Inter-operability with other Ethereum 2.0 clients.
|
|
- **October 2019**: Public, multi-client testnet with user-facing functionality.
|
|
- **January 2020**: Production Beacon Chain testnet.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Lighthouse consists of multiple binaries:
|
|
|
|
- [`beacon_node/`](beacon_node/): produces and verifies blocks from the P2P
|
|
connected validators and the P2P network. Provides an API for external services to
|
|
interact with Ethereum 2.0.
|
|
- [`validator_client/`](validator_client/): connects to a `beacon_node` and
|
|
performs the role of a proof-of-stake validator.
|
|
- [`account_manager/`](account_manager/): a stand-alone component providing key
|
|
management and creation for validators.
|
|
|
|
### Simple Local Testnet
|
|
|
|
**Note: these instructions are intended for developers and researchers. We do
|
|
not yet support end-users.**
|
|
|
|
In this example we use the `account_manager` to create some keys, launch two
|
|
`beacon_node` instances and connect a `validator_client` to one. The two
|
|
`beacon_nodes` should stay in sync and build a Beacon Chain.
|
|
|
|
First, clone this repository, [setup a development
|
|
environment](docs/installation.md) and navigate to the root directory of this repository.
|
|
|
|
Then, run `$ cargo build --all --release` and navigate to the `target/release`
|
|
directory and follow the steps:
|
|
|
|
#### 1. Generate Validator Keys
|
|
|
|
Generate 16 validator keys and store them in `~/.lighthouse-validator`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./account_manager -d ~/.lighthouse-validator generate_deterministic -i 0 -n 16
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_Note: these keys are for development only. The secret keys are
|
|
deterministically generated from low integers. Assume they are public
|
|
knowledge._
|
|
|
|
#### 2. Start a Beacon Node
|
|
|
|
This node will act as the boot node and provide an API for the
|
|
`validator_client`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./beacon_node --recent-genesis --rpc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_Note: `--recent-genesis` defines the genesis time as either the start of the
|
|
current hour, or half-way through the current hour (whichever is most recent).
|
|
This makes it very easy to create a testnet, but does not allow nodes to
|
|
connect if they were started in separate 30-minute windows._
|
|
|
|
#### 3. Start Another Beacon Node
|
|
|
|
In another terminal window, start another boot that will connect to the
|
|
running node.
|
|
|
|
The running node will display it's ENR as a base64 string. This ENR, by default, has a target address of `127.0.0.1` meaning that any new node will connect to this node via `127.0.0.1`. If a boot node should be connected to on a different address, it should be run with the `--discovery-address` CLI flag to specify how other nodes may connect to it.
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./beacon_node -r --boot-nodes <boot-node-ENR> --listen-address 127.0.0.1 --port 9001 --datadir /tmp/.lighthouse
|
|
```
|
|
Here <boot-node-ENR> is the ENR string displayed in the terminal from the first node. The ENR can also be obtained from it's default directory `.lighthouse/network/enr.dat`.
|
|
|
|
The `--datadir` flag tells this Beacon Node to store it's files in a different
|
|
directory. If you're on a system that doesn't have a `/tmp` dir (e.g., Mac,
|
|
Windows), substitute this with any directory that has write access.
|
|
|
|
Note that all future created nodes can use the same boot-node ENR. Once connected to the boot node, all nodes should discover and connect with each other.
|
|
#### 4. Start a Validator Client
|
|
|
|
In a third terminal window, start a validator client:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./validator-client
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should be able to observe the validator signing blocks, the boot node
|
|
processing these blocks and publishing them to the other node. If you have
|
|
issues, try restarting the beacon nodes to ensure they have the same genesis
|
|
time. Alternatively, raise an issue and include your terminal output.
