Nimbus-eth2 is a extremely efficient Beacon Chain client for participating in the Ethereum Proof of Stake protocol. It performs well on embedded systems, resource-restricted devices -- including Raspberry Pis and mobile devices -- the low resource usage also makes it an excellet choice for running together with an Ethereum client on a server or a desktop where it simply takes up less resources.

You can find the information you need to run a beacon node and operate as a validator in [The Book](https://nimbus.guide/).
The [Quickstart](https://nimbus.guide/quick-start.html) in particular will help you get connected to the Pyrmont Testnet and eth2 Mainnet quickly!
The [Quickstart](https://nimbus.guide/quick-start.html) in particular will help you quickly connect to either mainnet or the Prater testnet.
## Quickly test your tooling against Nimbus
The [Nimbus REST api](https://nimbus.guide/rest-api.html) is now available from:
* http://testing.mainnet.beacon-api.nimbus.team/
* http://unstable.mainnet.beacon-api.nimbus.team/
* http://unstable.prater.beacon-api.nimbus.team/
Note that right now these are very much unstable testing instances. They may be unresponsive at times - so **please do not rely on them for validation**. We may also disable them at any time.
