How Lodestar secures hundreds of thousands of staked ETH with TypeScript.

Lodestar's vision for Glamsterdam's headliner is an opportunity to optimize Ethereum's slot structuring, separate consensus and execution concerns, and ensure we set ourselves up for future success in shortening slot times with data on overhead concerns.

Lodestar’s future: transitioning from a pure JavaScript client focused on browser compatibility to a performance-first, hybrid JavaScript and Zig architecture.

In response to the Fusaka deadline outlined in the All Core Developers March Checkpoint, this blog post summarizes the collective thoughts of Lodestar's perspective on the Fusaka hard fork. Keep Fusaka Small and Focused Taking into account some lessons learned from the Pectra retrospective published in February, we are still

When the Holesky hard fork went sideways, validators struggled through hidden bugs, misconfigured clients, and unexpected chain splits. Here’s how quick thinking, precise fixes, and community teamwork turned a chaotic experience into a valuable lesson for future forks.

Key lessons learnt from Ethereum’s latest hard fork. From feature cramming to scope creep, we’re exploring ways to streamline coordination, shorten fork cycles, and enhance stability—ensuring Ethereum remains resilient and future-ready.

the Lodestar team wanted to provide an update on how we envision proceeding with the Pectra roadmap.

We're excited to introduce the latest addition to our suite—Lodestar Prover, a tool for connecting consensus and execution clients, facilitating seamless and secure blockchain integrations.  A disconnect for dApps? Within the Ethereum ecosystem, dApps have historically faced a challenge in establishing smooth interactions with execution clients. They depended heavily

With the implementation of Deneb/Cancun almost complete, client teams were asked to provide suggestions on inclusions to the next Electra/Prague hard fork. This blog post is to outline the combined consensus of Lodestar’s main contributors, inspired by the writings of Paradigm’s Reth team and commendation of

A year-end review of ChainSafe’s TypeScript implementation of Ethereum Consensus.

At Lodestar, we've been long-time proponents of light clients, software that connects to full nodes to interact with the blockchain. As a resource-friendly and trustless alternative to running your own full node, light clients reduce the need to trust third parties. Although they don't confirm blocks, they're valuable in terms
