 Core specifications for eth2.0 client validation can be found in [specs/core](specs/core). These are divided into phases. Each subsequent phase depends upon the prior. The current phases specified are:
 
-* Phase 0
-  * [The Beacon Chain](specs/core/0_beacon-chain.md)
-  * [Fork Choice](specs/core/0_fork-choice.md)
-  * [Deposit Contract](specs/core/0_deposit-contract.md)
-  * [Honest validator implementation doc](specs/validator/0_beacon-chain-validator.md)
-* Phase 1
