Clients
GBC is supported by 3 clients; validators can choose their preferred client
Please see the relevant page for links and instructions for each client implementation. The Lighthouse binary v 2.1.2+ supports Gnosis Chain out-of-the-box. The Prysm client is modified slightly to support the GBC and you must use the modified version. The Nimbus client supports the GBC out-of-the-box, if built with correct options.
 Lighthouse A fast and secure client written in Rust
​
 Prysm A user-focused client with high reliability written in Go.
​
​
​Nimbus A client that strives to be as lightweight as possible in terms of resources used.
In addition to the GBC client, validators will need to connect to a Gnosis Chain RPC node or, optionally, run their own Gnosis Chain (native xDai) node with Nethermind or OpenEthereum.
​DappNode supports the Gnosis Beacon Chain! If you would like to use their services for validation, please see the guide and instructions here.​
