+
+Lighthouse is an **Ethereum 2.0 client** that connects to other Ethereum 2.0
+clients to form a resilient and decentralized proof-of-stake blockchain.
+
+It is written in Rust, maintained by Sigma Prime and funded by the Ethereum
+Foundation, Consensys and other individuals and organisations.
+
+## Developer Resources
+
+Documentation is provided for **researchers and developers** working on
+Ethereum 2.0 and assumes prior knowledge on the topic.

+## Release
+
+Ethereum 2.0 is not fully specified or implemented and as such, Lighthouse is

+initial production-grade blockchain in 2020.
