This is the main project folder for a validator client implementation of Ethereum Serenity in Golang by [Prysmatic Labs](https://prysmaticlabs.com). A validator client attaches to a running beacon node in order to perform proposer/attester responsibilities and manage the lifecycle of a particular shard upon being assigned to one.
Before you begin, check out our main [README](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/blob/master/README.md) and join our active chat room on Discord or Gitter below:
Also, read the latest sharding + casper [design spec](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs), this design spec serves as a source of truth for the beacon chain implementation we follow at prysmatic labs.
