ChainSafe Systems developed Lodestar, a Typescript-based Ethereum consensus ecosystem, featuring a beacon chain, validator client, and an array of tools like BLS and SSZ, focusing on rapid prototyping and browser compatibility.

Lodestar is a Typescript ecosystem for Ethereum consensus, developed by ChainSafe Systems.

Our flagship product is our production-capable beacon chain and validator client.

In addition, we maintain public repositories of useful tools for public use. Some of these libraries include BLS, SSZ, Discv5, Gossipsub, and Noise.

We are committed to maintaining these critical libraries for use in our client and for the wider community.

Lodestar's niche is in its implementation language, Typescript. Our software and tooling is uniquely situated as the go-to for researchers and developers for rapid prototyping and browser usage. Millions of developers around the world are familiar with Typescript, and Lodestar's high-quality codebases are excellent introductions to the Ethereum world.

Lodestar has also been a leader in light client research, standardization, and implementation of Ethereum light clients. We strive to work with other client implementers, researchers and developers to demonstrate the importance of having browsers utilize trustless data directly from blockchain.

A demo of our light client is available at https://lodestar-lightclient.chainsafe.io/.
