The relevant information required for a light client is available by http requests to an active Beacon node. A light client server will make those requests and assemble them into light client update objects, which will then be served to the light client itself.\n\n## Instructions\n\nFirst spin up a local testnet using Ganache as the execution layer\nThen cargo run in the light-client directory\n\n## Current Functionality\n\nThe light client randomly selects a beacon node to connect to. The server then creates an initial store object by parsing data from the `beacon_block_body` and `beacon_state` objects associated with the most recent finalized block requested from the Beacon Node. Then, the same process is then repeated for the head of the chain, with new data used to update `store`.\n\n\n## Dev Notes\n\nFor light-client dev make sure the testnet BN's are running altair. The defaults in vars.env set the altair hard fork to block 18million-ish. Set it to 0, then the altair endpoints will be available immediately.\n\n## finality_branch and sync_committee_branch\n\nsee SSZ_notes.md","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fralexstokes%2Fbeacon-light-client","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fralexstokes%2Fbeacon-light-client","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fralexstokes%2Fbeacon-light-client/lists"}
