# Lighthouse-Pulse: A PulseChain Consensus Client Written in Rust

This is the core repository for Lighthouse-Pulse, a [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) implementation of the [Ethereum Consensus](https://ethereum.org/en/eth2/) specification, originally developed by [Sigma Prime](https://sigmaprime.io/) and modified for usage with [PulseChain](https://pulsechain.com/). See the [Changelog](https://gitlab.com/pulsechaincom/lighthouse-pulse/-/releases) for details of the latest releases and upcoming breaking changes.

> Credit to the [Sigma Prime](https://sigmaprime.io/) team for the original implementation of [Lighthouse](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse).

[Documentation](https://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io)

## Overview

Lighthouse-Pulse is:

- Ready for use on Ethereum consensus mainnet & PulseChain consensus testnets/mainnet.
- Fully open-source, licensed under Apache 2.0.
- Security-focused. Fuzzing techniques have been continuously applied and several external security reviews have been performed.
- Built in [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org), a modern language providing unique safety guarantees and
	excellent performance (comparable to C++).

## Staking Deposit Contract

The PulseChain team acknowledges `0x3693693693693693693693693693693693693693` as the canonical staking deposit contract address.
