## 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.
