Sharding Implementation vs Research
summary
Claims a production-ready Ethereum 2.0 stack that moves sharding and Casper off-chain into a beacon chain + shard chains architecture, uses 32 ETH deposit validator registration, and enforces storage with a crypto-economic proof of custody. Implementation uses BLS signature aggregation, libp2p/gossipsub p2p and gRPC, already runs a beacon node and validator node, a beacon block simulator, implements Casper FFG, and advances an end-to-end beacon chain from genesis while synchronizing with the proof-of-work chain.
