## 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 involved in the specification and security analysis of the emerging
Ethereum 2.0 specification.
Like all Ethereum 2.0 clients, Lighthouse is a work-in-progress.
## Development Status
Current development overview:
- Specification `v0.8.3` implemented, optimized and passing test vectors.
- Rust-native libp2p with Gossipsub and Discv5.
- RESTful JSON API via HTTP server.
- Events via WebSocket.
- Metrics via Prometheus.
### Roadmap
- ~~**April 2019**: Inital single-client testnets.~~
- ~~**September 2019**: Inter-operability with other Ethereum 2.0 clients.~~
- ~~ **Q1 2020**: `lighthouse-0.1.0` release: All major phase 0 features implemented.~~
- **Q1 2020**: Public, multi-client testnet with user-facing functionality.
- **Q2 2020**: Third-party security review.
- **Q3 2020**: Production Beacon Chain testnet (tentative).
## Documentation
The [Lighthouse Book](http://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io/) contains information
for testnet users and developers.
Code documentation is generated via `cargo doc` and hosted at
[lighthouse-docs.sigmaprime.io](http://lighthouse-docs.sigmaprime.io/).
