## Issue Addressed Related to #3672 ## Proposed Changes - Added a guide to run a node. Mainly, copy and paste from 'Merge Migration' and 'Checkpoint Sync'. - Ranked it high in ToC: - Introduction - Installation - Run a Node - Become a Validator ... - Hid 'Merge Migration' in ToC. ## Additional Info - Should I add/rephrase/delete something? - Now there is some redundancy: - 'Run a node' and 'Checkpoint Sync' contain similar information. - Same for 'Run a node' and 'Become a Validator'.

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.
