 Every Ethereum 1.0 deposit, of size between `MIN_DEPOSIT_AMOUNT` and `MAX_DEPOSIT_AMOUNT`, emits a `Deposit` log for consumption by the beacon chain. The deposit contract does little validation, pushing most of the validator onboarding logic to the beacon chain. In particular, the proof of possession (a BLS12 signature) is not verified by the deposit contract.

-When sufficiently many full deposits have been made the deposit contract emits the `ChainStart` log. The beacon chain state may then be initialized by calling the `get_initial_beacon_state` function (defined below) where:
