Prysm is a Go implementation of the Ethereum Consensus (proof of stake) specification, developed by Offchain Labs. It runs beacon chain nodes and validators, enabling users to participate in Ethereum staking on mainnet.
Use cases
- run an ethereum consensus layer node
- stake eth as a validator on mainnet
- operate a beacon chain client in go
- sync the ethereum beacon chain
- validate blocks and attestations on ethereum proof of stake
When to choose
- you want a production-tested Go consensus client for Ethereum
- you plan to stake ETH and need a validator client
- you prefer a client with extensive official documentation and community support
When to avoid
- you need an execution layer client like Geth or Nethermind
- you want a lightweight non-blockchain tool
- you prefer consensus clients written in other languages such as Rust or Nim
