It is also not recommended for nodes handling any amount of money or used in production settings due to its lower security guarantees compared to running a full consensus client. @@ -68,8 +68,3 @@ INFO [06-23|15:06:33.388] Loaded JWT secret file path=light-se INFO [06-23|15:06:34.130] Successful NewPayload number=6,169,314 hash=d4204e..772e65 status=SYNCING INFO [06-23|15:06:34.130] Successful ForkchoiceUpdated head=d4204e..772e65 status=SYNCING ``` - -## Summary - -This guide should provide the steps of using blsync in both integrated and standalone modes with Geth as an alternative to running a full consensus client. This is suitable for non-production use-cases and offers lower resource requirements and higher speed. The steps to run blsync include choosing an endpoint, obtaining a checkpoint, and starting the client with correct flags. -
