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, 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.
  • Q4 2019: lighthouse-0.0.1 release: All major phase 0 features implemented.
  • Q4 2019: Public, multi-client testnet with user-facing functionality.
  • Q4 2019: Third-party security review.
  • Q1 2020: Production Beacon Chain testnet (tentative).
