Prysm Ethereum Client Documentation

What is Prysm?

The Prysm project is a full-featured implementation for the Ethereum proof-of-stake network written entirely in the Go programming language. Created by Prysmatic Labs, Prysm implements the official Ethereum consensus specification, which is the product of an ongoing collective research and development effort by various teams across the Ethereum ecosystem including the Ethereum Foundation.

This documentation

This manual is aimed at developers interested in participating in Ethereum consensus, which involves locking up a 32 ETH deposit to vote and produce blocks using our software. For more detailed information on the most recent research developments and understanding what Ethereum consensus is, it is recommended to review the official Ethereum consensus specification repository.

Communications

Prysm has two official channels for release updates: our Discord and our mailing list. All releases will be notified via those channels.
