Note: For Hyperledger Besu using IBFT2 consensus, the following IBC client is recommended. See: https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/yui-ibc-solidity/blob/main/docs/ibft2-light-client.md
IBC Trusted Ethereum Client is an IBC Module for validating Ethereum.
This repository provides the following
- A light client that verifies the state on Ethereum under the conditions described below
- A prover for yui-relayer that provides the necessary proofs for the light client
This client assumes the existence of a trusted Relayer that submits headers that can be confidently confirmed on Ethereum.
The client verifies each state for its membership using Merkle-proof based on the submitted headers.
We will develop the specification of this client in the future.
