Lighthouse is an **Ethereum consensus client** that connects to other Ethereum consensus
clients to form a resilient and decentralized proof-of-stake blockchain.
We implement the specification as defined in the
[ethereum/consensus-specs](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs) repository.
## Topics
You may read this book from start to finish, or jump to some of these topics:
- Follow the [Installation Guide](./installation.md) to install Lighthouse.
- Run your very [own beacon node](./run_a_node.md).
- Learn about [becoming a mainnet validator](./mainnet_validator.md).
- Get hacking with the [Development Environment Guide](./contributing_setup.md).
- Utilize the whole stack by starting a [local testnet](./contributing_setup.md#local-testnets).
- Query the [RESTful HTTP API](./api.md) using `curl`.
Prospective contributors can read the [Contributing](./contributing.md) section
to understand how we develop and test Lighthouse.
