Beacon verifier

Installation

Requirements: Rust Minimum Rust version: 1.56

cargo install beacon-verifier

Usage

You can specify one or multiple urls:

beacon-verifier https://beacon-url.com/

By default, the Beacon v2 model is being used. But you can provide your own model with the --model option. The model should follow the Beacon Framework.

beacon-verifier --model https://beacon-model.com/ https://beacon-url.com/

Alternatively, you can specify a local path for the model:

beacon-verifier --model file://$PWD/tests/BEACON-V2-Model https://beacon-url.com/

Output

The output is a JSON file written to stdout. You can redirect it to save it into a file.

beacon-verifier https://beacon-url.com/ > /path/to/output
