Ethereum 2.0 Common Crates

Rust crates containing logic common across the Lighthouse project.

Per-Crate Summary

• attester/: Core logic for attesting to beacon and shard blocks.
• block_proposer/: Core logic for proposing beacon blocks.
• fork_choice/: A collection of fork-choice algorithms for the Beacon Chain.
• state_processing/: Provides per-slot, per-block, and per-epoch state processing.
• types/: Defines base Ethereum 2.0 types (e.g., BeaconBlock, BeaconState, etc).
• utils/:
  • bls: A wrapper for an external BLS encryption library.
  • boolean-bitfield: Provides an expandable vector of bools, specifically for use in Eth2.
  • fisher-yates-shuffle: shuffles a list pseudo-randomly.
  • hashing: A wrapper for external hashing libraries.
  • honey-badger-split: Splits a list in n parts without giving AF about the length of the list, n, or anything else.
  • int-to-bytes: Simple library which converts ints into byte-strings of various lengths.
  • slot_clock: translates the system time into Beacon Chain "slots". (Also provides another slot clock that's useful during testing.)
  • ssz: an implementation of the SimpleSerialize serialization/deserialization protocol used by Eth 2.0.
  • ssz_derive: provides procedural macros for deriving SSZ Encode, Decode, and TreeHash methods.
  • swap_or_not_shuffle: a list-shuffling method which is slow, but allows for a subset of indices to be shuffled.
  • test_random_derive: provides procedural macros for deriving the TestRandom trait defined in types.
