It leverages the fault tolerance and distributed system capabilities of the BEAM VM as well as the succint and easy to understand syntax of Elixir. Besides pushing for client diversity in the Ethereum ecosystem, our goal is to create a clear landscape for anyone who is interested either in Ethereum or Elixir ### Why a Consensus Client? We built this client to contribute to Ethereum’s client diversity, which is essential for the resilience and decentralization of the network. As stated on ethereum.org: \"Having many independently developed and maintained clients is vital for the health of a decentralized network.\" ### Why Elixir? Elixir is a functional programming language that runs atop the Erlang Virtual Machine (BEAM). It offers enhanced readability, syntactic sugar, and reduced boilerplate, enabling developers to achieve more with fewer lines of code compared to Erlang. Like Erlang, Elixir compiles to bytecode that is interpreted by the VM. As a result, it inherits several notable properties, including: - Fault tolerance for increased reliability - High availability - Simplified construction of complex distributed systems - Predictable latency Erlang and its VM were originally developed in 1986 for telecommunication systems that demanded unparalleled uptime and reliability. We recognize that these attributes could be immensely beneficial for an E","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/lambdaclass","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/lambdaclass/lambda_ethereum_consensus/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
