Nimbus beacon chain is a research implementation of the beacon chain component of the upcoming Ethereum Serenity upgrade, aka eth2. See the main [Nimbus](https://github.com/status-im/nimbus/) project for the bigger picture.

## Connecting to testnets
Nimbus should be able to connect to any of the testnets published in the [eth2-testnets repo](https://github.com/zah/eth2-testnets).
For example, connecting to our testnet0 is done with the following commands:
```bash
cd nim-beacon-chain
source env.sh
nim scripts/connect_to_testnet.nims nimbus/testnet0
```
## Beacon node simulation
The beacon node simulation will create a full peer-to-peer network of beacon nodes and validators, and run the beacon chain in real time. To change network parameters such as shard and validator counts, see [start.sh](tests/simulation/start.sh).
