Lodestar is a TypeScript implementation of the Ethereum Consensus (proof-of-stake) specification, providing a beacon node, validator client, and CLI. It also ships reusable TypeScript libraries for building Ethereum-related applications.
Use cases
- run an ethereum beacon node on mainnet or a testnet
- run a proof-of-stake validator client
- spin up a local ethereum consensus testnet
- build a typescript app that interacts with the beacon chain
- implement light clients or consensus tooling in javascript
When to choose
- you want a Node.js/TypeScript consensus client or to embed consensus logic in a JS project
- you need a well-maintained, spec-compliant beacon node with Docker support
When to avoid
- you need a consensus client in another language or with lower resource usage
- you only need an execution-layer (EL) client
