This is the core repository for Prysm, a [Golang](https://golang.org/) implementation of the Ethereum 2.0 specification, developed by [Prysmatic Labs](https://prysmaticlabs.com).
### Getting Started
A detailed set of installation and usage instructions as well as breakdowns of each individual component are available in the [official documentation portal](https://docs.prylabs.network). If you still have questions, feel free to stop by our [Discord](https://discord.gg/CTYGPUJ).
### Staking on Mainnet
To participate in staking, you can join the [official eth2 launchpad](https://launchpad.ethereum.org). The launchpad is the only recommended way to become a validator on mainnet. You can visualize the nodes in the network on [eth2stats.io](https://eth2stats.io), explore validator rewards/penalties via Bitfly's block explorer: [beaconcha.in](https://beaconcha.in), and follow the latest blocks added to the chain on [beaconscan](https://beaconscan.com).
## Contributing
### Branches
Prysm maintains two permanent branches:
* master: This points to the latest stable release. It is ideal for most users.
* develop: This is used for development, it contains the latest PRs. Developers should base their PRs on this branch.
