What is #Lodestar? 🌟
It is @ChainSafeth's @typescript client implementation of the Eth2 spec.
Only the 2nd most popular & 4th most in-demand language in the world!*
A multi-client @ethereum is a resilient #Ethereum!

From the onset, our intention for #Lodestar was for it to be browser-native *but* also developer-friendly.
So our approach has been two-fold:
∙ Hey, let's build an ecosystem of composable libraries that others can leverage &...
∙ Build it in a lightweight fashion

Cue the #Lodestar light client.
It will be a first-class citizen in the #Ethereum ecosystem (@gregthegreek), and we want it to blow people's frickin' minds. 🤯
But first, to review...

2020 was a busy year for the #Ethereum ecosystem writ large, as it was for the #Lodestar team.
We worked tirelessly to productionize our own full #Lodestar beacon node (SO grateful to the client teams that helped us @prylabs, @trinity_client, @ethnimbus, @sigp_io, etc.)

Our beacon node is *so* close to ready!
We also created lodestar.chainsafe.io in 2020 to showcase some of the developer tooling we have put out. There's 20+ libraries in npm to be used by others as well!
E.g. @myetherwallet looks to be leveraging our BLS library 👀

How does any of our work in 2020 make #Lodestar browser-ready? How is it relevant to 🪶 light clients? 🪶
Well...
Our aim is to have our *own* full beacon node serve verified data to our light clients in a lightweight, efficient, & secure way.

There's value to be found, lessons to be learned, & synergies to be captured from building our own beacon node that could inform our light client work.
We are now steadfastly on our way towards a light client PoC for 2021.

In fact, however, our light client work has one dependency:
Eth2's upcoming HF1 (aka hardfork1) upgrade, otherwise known as "Altair".

This Eth2 hardfork adds the machinery to allow for light clients to effectively exist 🙌
Purpose-specific mechanisms by way of:
∙ sync committees and
∙ a light client sync protocol
enables the work for @ChainSafeth and the #Lodestar team!

The #Lodestar roadmap is set for 2021.
All of our work in 2020 were *necessary* precursors to a #Lodestar light client PoC, which will involve syncing the client properly & rolling up our work with merkle multi-proofs - which serves the data - to the full node level.
