## Overview
|
|
|
|
Lighthouse is:
|
|
|
|
- Ready for use on Ethereum consensus 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++).
|
|
- Funded by various organisations, including Sigma Prime, the
|
|
Ethereum Foundation, ConsenSys, the Decentralization Foundation and private individuals.
|
|
- Actively involved in the specification and security analysis of the
|
|
Ethereum proof-of-stake consensus specification.
|
|
|
|

|
[`0x00000000219ab540356cBB839Cbe05303d7705Fa`](https://etherscan.io/address/0x00000000219ab540356cbb839cbe05303d7705fa)
|
|
as the canonical staking deposit contract address.
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
The [Lighthouse Book](https://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io) contains information for users and
|
|
developers.
|
|
|
|
The Lighthouse team maintains a blog at [lighthouse-blog.sigmaprime.io][blog] which contains periodic
|
|
progress updates, roadmap insights and interesting findings.
|
|
|
|
## Branches
|
|
|
|
Lighthouse maintains two permanent branches:
|
|
|
|
- [`stable`][stable]: Always points to the latest stable release.
|
|
- This is ideal for most users.
|
|
- [`unstable`][unstable]: Used for development, contains the latest PRs.
|
|
- Developers should base their PRs on this branch.
