Beacon Chain - Page 5
The Beacon Chain is a separate blockchain that coordinates the Ethereum network’s transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake consensus. It manages validators, organizes block proposals, and oversees the staking process to secure the network. The chain does not process regular transactions or smart contracts but ensures network consensus and synchronization across Ethereum’s shards. Validators deposit ETH to participate in securing the network and earn rewards for proper behavior. The Beacon Chain is a critical component of Ethereum’s scalability and energy-efficiency improvements. It enables a more sustainable, secure, and scalable Ethereum ecosystem.
