# Substrate Shasper

*Note: This is an experimental project. Everything will break, and it may disappear without any notice!*

This is an implementation of [Shasper](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs) beacon chain using the [Substrate framework](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate).

## Status

Currently we have an implementation of Shasper state transition validation algorithms. This is then combined with LMD-GHOST consensus engine to provide a simple Substrate node implementation with block authoring.

After that, clone the repo and compile the WebAssembly runtime:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/paritytech/shasper.git
cd shasper && ./build.sh
```

You can then execute the client:

```bash
cargo run -- --dev

The client will run and then start proposing and importing blocks.
