This project provides the formal technical specifications and reference logic for the Ethereum proof-of-stake consensus layer. It defines the standards for block production, state transition rules, and the beacon chain logic required to ensure consistent network agreement. The implementation covers specialized mechanisms for chain security and efficiency, including fork-choice algorithms for canonical chain determination, committee-based signature aggregation, and KZG-based blob commitments for data availability. It also specifies the protocols for light client synchronization using sync comm
The project validates the authenticity of a light client header by checking the hash against a Merkle branch.
