What Is BeaconKit ⛵✨

BeaconKit is a modular and customizable consensus layer for Ethereum based blockchains.

Check out the official BeaconKit GitHub Repository.

BeaconKit is an innovative framework that makes the CometBFT consensus algorithm available to any EVM execution environment. In other words, BeaconKit is a modular consensus layer adaptable for Ethereum-based blockchains.

By leveraging the Engine API, BeaconKit can be paired with any EVM execution client, allowing it to be EVM identical, fully supporting any EVM execution client without modifications.

The framework is built with modularity in mind to easily integrate different layers that may include a custom block builder, a rollup layer, a data availability layer, among others. This modularity enables the building of not only Layer 1 blockchains but also serves as a framework for Layer 2 solutions.

BeaconKit Advantages

• Single slot finality (compared to Ethereum's ~13 minutes)
• Optimistic payload building (executing block proposal in parallel with voting) reduces block times by up to 40%
• Conformity to Eth2 modularity
• Full EIP compatibility
