### consensus client {consensus-client}
### consensus client {#consensus-client}

Consensus clients (such as Prysm, Teku, Nimbus, Lighthouse, Lodestar) run Ethereum's [proof-of-stake](#pos) consensus algorithm allowing the network to reach agreement about the head of the Beacon Chain. Consensus clients do not participate in validating/broadcasting transactions or executing state transitions. This is done by [execution clients](#execution-client).

Execution clients (f.k.a. "Eth1 clients"), such as Besu, Erigon, go-ethereum, Nethermind, are tasked with processing and broadcasting transactions, as well as with managing Ethereum's state. They run the computations for each transaction in the [Ethereum Virtual Machine](#evm) to ensure that the rules of the protocol are followed. Today, they also handle proof of work consensus. After the transition to [proof of stake](#pos), they will delegate this to consensus clients.
