**Motivation** All networks are post-electra now and transition period is completed, which means due to [EIP-6110](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-6110) we no longer need to process deposits via eth1 bridge as those are now processed by the execution layer. This code is effectively tech debt, no longer exercised and just gets in the way when doing refactors. **Description** Removes all code related to eth1 bridge mechanism to include new deposits - removed all eth1 related code, we can no longer produce blocks with deposits pre-electra (syncing blocks still works) - building a genesis state from eth1 is no longer supported (only for testing) - removed various db repositories related to deposits/eth1 data - removed various `lodestar_eth1_*` metrics and dashboard panels - deprecated all `--eth1.*` flags (but kept for backward compatibility) - moved shared utility functions from eth1 to execution engine module Closes https://github.com/ChainSafe/lodestar/issues/7682 Closes https://github.com/ChainSafe/lodestar/issues/8654
Lodestar Ethereum Consensus Implementation
Lodestar is a TypeScript implementation of the Ethereum Consensus specification developed by ChainSafe Systems.
Getting started
- ⚙️ Follow the instructions for build from source, binaries, or Docker to install Lodestar. Or use our Lodestar Quickstart scripts.
- 📚 Use Lodestar libraries in your next Ethereum Typescript project.
- 🌐 Run a beacon node on mainnet or a public testnet.
- 💻 Utilize the whole stack by starting a local testnet.
- 🗒️ View the Lodestar CLI commands and options.
- 🤓 View the Package and dependency structure.
- 📝 Prospective contributors can read the contributing section to understand how we develop and test on Lodestar.
- ✍️ If you have questions submit an issue or join us on Discord!
- 🚨 Please note our security policy.
